"Heading to a printed broadside: '(Third Edition.)' and 'New Version', verses printed in two columns below the (printed) title. The Duke of York, with a gauntleted fist, strikes in the face the startled King, who staggers, decanter in hand, saying, "Theres no dependance on the Army." The Duke answers: "Not for you." A supper-table, with decanters, &c., overturns on the right, the King's chair on the left; the chair is decorated with an irradiated wine-glass flanked by bowing Chinese, and, like the table, is fringed by bells. Behind the King are two bottle-holders, the bottles in the shape of a 'Green Bag' [see British Museum Satires No. 13735], and so inscribed; they are Castlereagh and Liverpool, who are backed by Sidmouth and Canning. They say: "Never fear--we are here," and "Never fear." Behind the Duke is the Queen between two ladies; she says: "Fair play's a Jewell Face to Face Truith [sic] will come out." Four of her supporters watch from the left: Wood in his alderman's gown, and holding a 'City Address', says: "A blow has been Struck who feels it?" Burdett, next Hobhouse, and holding a 'West' [minster Address], says: "When Britons strike they strike home." The fourth is a barrister (one of the Queen's legal advisers, not resembling Brougham). The sixth and seventh of ten verses: Said Ca . . tl . . gh I know the Cause, Y . . k's for your 'R .... l Rib', Sire, Your M .... y shall have New Laws, You know we never gib, Sire.

"A frigate with a life-like bust of Queen Caroline as figurehead runs down a similar vessel with a huge and grotesque head of George IV. The latter heels over and is about to be swamped; the King's head looks up in terror at the complacent features of his wife bearing down upon it. The head is further threatened by the jaws, bristling with teeth, of two whales in the foreground. On the level deck of the 'Queen Caroline' stand Brougham, holding a broom, and Denman, both in wig and gown and holding a document inscribed 'Defence'. Behind them is (?) Lushington (not characterized); more prominent is Wood, in a court-suit, holding a pole supporting a block of wood inscribed 'A Chump' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13899]. The other two are Burdett, holding out a paper inscribed 'Westminster', and his fellow member Hobhouse. The crew of the 'Royal George' are either in the water or falling from the mast-head among spars and ribbons of sails. Castlereagh and Wellington are in the sea; one says: "My fall has been Triangular" [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14135], the other: "Oh! this is worse then the Grape Shot at Waterloo." On top of them falls Sidmouth with his clyster-pipe; he vomits, &c., saying: "this will a cooling Draughts [sic] and purge our foul stomachs." Two green bags (see British Museum Satires No. 13735), inscribed 'Bag', fall into the water; just above them is Eldon, dropping the mace and the Purse of the Great Seal; he exclaims: "O my Wool sack." Liverpool falls head first, dropping a large purse and coins; he says: "This Pool goes against my Liver." By his toe is a paper: 'Tresury'. Sir John Leach, with a paper inscribed 'Milan' [see British Museum Satires No. 13755, &c.], also falls. Nearest the masthead is the Archbishop of Canterbury. Beside him, sirloin, bottle, plates, knife, &c., are falling. On a smaller scale is Majocchi, dandified, and exclaiming "Non mi recordo" [see British Museum Satires No. 13827]."--British Museum online catalogue
