"William IV (left), with a huge broom inscribed 'Public Opinion', sweeps away his Ministers who rush to the right in ignominious haste. His broom is against Wellington's posterior; the others (left to right) are Bathurst, Goulburn, Peel, Ellenborough, and Aberdeen. Behind them is a seventh who may be Londonderry (not an ex-Minister). Wellington: 'Oh Bob that it should have come to this, where shall we hide -- where can we go? --curse Don-Key's fee fa-fum' [see BM Satires No. 16303, &c.]. The King: 'Now I shall have a clear House -- no more dictators! out with you all 29 against your own question. Off -- off'."--British Museum online catalogue
