Abstract:
"A handsome rakish-looking man (left) puts his arms round the waist of a good-looking young woman, who draws away from him. Their words, in large labels above their heads, are from verses in the 'Examiner', 10 Jan. 1813 (by Tom Moore) [reprinted, 'The Twopenny Post-Bag', 1813, pp. 83-5, with an additional verse by the lady on 'an old Marquis [Headfort], in mischief grown hoary']: He (the first and last of four verses): "Come fly to these arms, nor let beauties so bloomy To one frigid owner be tied, The Prudes may revile, and the old ones look gloomy, But dearest we've Law on our side. . . . And ev'n should our sweet violation of duty By cold blooded jurors be tried, They can but bring it in, a "Misfortune" my beauty As long as we've Law on our side." She: "Hold! Hold my good Sir! go a little more slowly For grant I thus guiltily sigh'd, Such sinners as we are a little to lowly To hope to have Law on our side. Had you been a great Prince, to whose star shining oe'er 'em, Then people should look for thier [sic] guide, Then your Highness (and welcome) might kick down decorum, You'd always have Law on your side. . . . But for you Sir Crim Con. is a path full of troubles, By my advice therefore abide And leave the pursuit to those princes and nobles Who have such a Law on their side." On the right the Prince walks off in back view between Lady Hertford and Ellenborough, in wig and gown. He takes Ellenborough's left arm, his left arm is round Lady Hertford, whose right arm is round the Prince, her profile turned possessively towards him. Ellenborough declaims: "Too busy Senates with an over care, "To make us better than our kind can bear, "Have dash'd a spice of Envy in the laws, "And straining up to high have spoil'd the cause; "Yet some wise Nations break the cruel chains, "And own no laws but those which Love ordains." On the ground behind the group are two papers, one below the other and showing only the left margin: 'Trial / Mar[quis of Headfort] / Crim / Decem / -Dam / £20,00 .. Above it: "L'Amour par tyrannie obtient "ce qu'il demande, "S'il parle il faut ceder; Obeir "s'il commande "Et ce Dieux [sic], tout aveugle, et tout "enfant qu'it [sic] est, "Dispose de nos cœurs, quand et "comme il lui plait".--British Museum online catalogue

Be Off! you have no chance where Diet Merryman and Quiet practice!" Death answers: "Then my first job must be to quiet you and your partners will soon follow." Quiet: "Come now for a little quiet; Merrymans dose has opperated suficiently!" The patient holds a 'merrythought'. A fat cook, 'Diet', stands on the left inspecting a dish of bare chicken bones; he says, grinning broadly: "He'll do! Pick'd the bones clean! We shall beat the Charlotte Street Medical Board hollow!"

Abstract:
In a crowded tavern before a large roaring fire, Dr. Syntax sits on a bench smoking his pipe as he engages in debate with three companions. A man leans over the back of the bench and blows a large cloud of smoke into the back of Dr. Syntax's head. The room is filled with military personnel who frolic and flirt with pretty girls; the barmaid stands at the bar pouring wine. Everyone has a full glass at hand. The signs on either side of a large clock read "Real Yorkshie stinco" and "No trust here".

"An Eurasian, Portuguese, or English lady, sallow, with black hair, sits on a stool in profile to the right in the centre of a bare room, attended by six Indian women. She dips both hands into a shallow open box held by a woman seated on the floor. Another stands beside her, watching. On the right an ayah nurses a doll-like infant. Another servant stands holding up a bell-shaped implement with a long handle. A fourth (left) sits full-face, apparently on a low stool, using a slab to pulverize something on a board; beside her are a small earthenware pot and a three-legged pot with a lid. A low oblong stool stands on the floor. Behind, a young Indian girl approaches from the left holding a jug and an oval tray or mirror. There is a large door or window (left) closed with persiennes; before this is a table on which are a closed oblong box and a (?) wine-bottle. Another large window-space is open to the sky. The Indians are almost black, except for the strong whites of their eyes, and wear coloured draperies. There are heavy shadows. Apparently a companion plate to No. 11165 by the same artist, probably an amateur. Cf. also No. 11832, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"A cavernously dark interior, despite a strong light from a wide doorway and open window in the wall which forms a background. Five Indian servants, of whom two may be women, are employed in various operations; three squat on the floor on mats or low stools, a fourth holding a slab or brick like that in No. 12164, rises in angry controversy with a seated man (left). Their dress ranges from a tunic and trousers with a turban to a loin-cloth. A steward or butler wearing a turban stands in the doorway, holding a bowl.

"A ship's boat filled with rollicking prostitutes, is rowed towards a King's ship whose bows are on the extreme left. The two oarsmen and the helmsman, and a marine playing a fiddle are swamped by the women, who hold up decanters and glasses. The helmsman lounges with his arms round two women, one of whom holds the tiller. A negro woman smokes a long pipe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8793). All are in high spirits. Tied outside the boat are two barrels, both inscribed 'Smugled', one is 'Hollands Gin', the other and larger is 'Coniac Brandy'. Behind (right) is a ship with guns projecting from port-holes; two women climb on board by a rope-ladder from a boat, watched by sailors and an officer, while from a window of the captain's cabin another woman looks out.

"Four elderly physicians fight wildly, flourishing their canes, in a room leading to that of the patient (right). One has fallen on his back, two others fight across him, each planting a foot on his chest; he clutches at the coat of one of these, shouting, "I say it is an exfoliation of the Glands, which has fallen on the membranous coats of the Intestines & must be thrown off by an Emetic." In his pocket is a letter: 'To Dr Emetic Upper B . . .' In the pocket of the man he clutches is a letter: 'To Dr Sudorific . . . sell. Squoe.' The latter answers the antagonist who has seized his neckcloth: "I say it is a pleurisie in the Thigh and must be Sweated away!" His adversary, 'Dr Drastic Cloacina Row', answers: "You are a blockhead! I say it is a nervous affection of the Cutis & the patient must immediately loose 18 ounces of blood and then take a powerfull Drastic." The fourth doctor (right) assails Drastic: "What are you quarrelling about! you are all wrong I say it is an inflamation on the os Sacrum, & therefore 14 blisters must be immediately applied to the part affected & the adjacents." His letter of identification is: 'To Dr Blister Cantheartic Pla . . .' Through the open door (right) the amused patient, in dressing-gown and night-cap, watches the fray from beside his bed, having just risen from a commode. He remarks: "I say Dame Nature has relieved me both of the Cause & Effects while these learned disputants are deciding the nature of my complaint-so I'll e'en be off to save both my money and my Life."--British Museum online catalogue
