- Abstract:
- "The Duke of York, in a pilgrim's gown, wearing a mitre and with a crosier for his staff, approaches the corner of a house where two women, Mrs. Clarke and Miss Taylor, look eagerly from an open window. Behind him his path, 'Road to destruction', leads down from a country house in trees, Oatlands. Beside the path is a stone: 'Stumbling Block'. Near the house the Duchess of York kneels imploringly, raising her arms towards the distant Duke. Behind her is one of her many pet dogs (see British Museum Satires No. 11023). The Duke tramples on two open books: 'Thoughts on Connubial Happiness' and 'Thou shalt not commit Adultery'. He says: "Now for a meeting with my Dearest Dear". On the house many bills are posted: 'Man Traps are placed every Night in these grounds'; 'Diamonds by Mrs Clarke Lapidary to his Highness'; 'This evening will be performed Duke and No Duke [by Tate, 1685] By his Majesties Servts . . .'; 'Agency Office business transacted on moderate Terms'; 'Leakes Pills by appoint. .

- Abstract:
- "Heading to a rebus engraved below the design, giving the text of the sermon. An ugly parson (right) preaches in close proximity to the canopied pew of the Duke of York, in which the Duke sprawls, with one leg along the edge of the pew. Mrs. Clarke, between them, leans with folded arms on the edge of the pew, facing the Duke. O'Meara says: "Mrs Clark is the Text". The rebus or pictograph, sometimes anagrammatic, would be scarcely comprehensible without the key, unlike the usual 'hieroglyphic letter', e.g. British Museum Satiries No. 11228, &c. The text is on a printed slip: 'Grant me, I beseech you, O great and mighty Lord of the Land of Oats [Oatlands], a Bishopric; or, if it be more agreeable to your Royal Mind, let me be immediately made a Dean. O dearest Angel, Mrs. Clark! as you are my only Refuge in the Time of Trouble, and as you are the only Great Giver of Places in Church and State, let me entreat your Interest in my behalf! . . .

- "Mrs. Clarke's house is on the right. A military officer (Wardle) wrapped in a cloak slips a purse into the hand of a meretricious young woman at the door, with a belt inscribed Favorit. Mrs. Clarke, her breast much exposed, leans from a window to look down at him. Two other men look from other windows. Above the door is a lantern inscribed: Now Exhibiting Wonders upon Wonders or Mrs Clarkes Puppet Show Which has given satisn to Po[ ? pulace] and Prince. Below this is a board: All the World's a Stage and Men and Women merely Players-- some play the upper some the under part, but chief Play that--most foreign to their heart. On the door: Knock and you shall Enter. On the wall (by Mrs. Clarke) is a sign for "Globe Fire Insurance". On the right the Duke of York walks away from the house; he wears a mitre and carries a crosier; a bishop's robe, on which are the words "Men have their Entrances & their Exits". Next to him walks an elderly lawyer (Adam) and a fat parson (O'Meara) hurries after him. Facing Mrs. Clarke's house is a row of houses: Prospect Row; old women, Maiden Ladies, watch from upper windows, as does an old man with a telescope who puts a grotesque head out of an attic window inscribed Peeping Toms Observatory. He says: O the Devil choak her he's Waddling in as Im a prying Croaker. Two cats fight on the roof; words issue from one of them: "Come what come may the Cat will mew. The Dog will have his day"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "John Bull, blindfold, stands on a massive truncated pillar holding the beam of a pair of scales. In one scale (left), near the ground, Mrs. Clarke sits composedly among a mass of papers, holding one inscribed My dear Dearest Dearest Darling [see British Museum satires no. 11228, &c.]. The others are inscribed: Sandon, Toyne [Tonyn], Dowler, Omeara, Carter, French, Knight, Clavering. In the other scale the Duke of York swings high in the air, and shouts down to three men on the ground: Save me save me Save my Honour [cf. British Museum satires no. 11269]. They haul hard at ropes attached to his scale, which they tilt sideways so that he is in danger of falling out. One, a drink-blotched bishop wearing a mitre, says: Pull away Pull away the Church is in danger; the other two say: Pull away Pull away we lose all our Places, and Pull away pull away we shall lose our Noble Commander. On the pillar Britannia is depicted seated with her shield and lion; she holds the broken staff of a flag."--British Museum online catalogue
