"A Frenchman, tall and gaunt, his thin legs engulfed in post-boy's boots, addresses John Bull (left), shrugging his shoulders and extending his hands: "by Gar Mr Jean Bull you Var much alter Should not know you var Jean I was as big as you now." John, an elderly cit, still paunchy, but with clothes hanging in wrinkles, turning his head in profile to the left, contemptuously smokes a short pipe, the smoke inscribed 'Puff'. His right hand rests on a cudgel inscribed 'Wellington Oake'. He answers with a fierce scowl: "why look you Mounseer Parley Vou tho I have got Thinner my Self I have a little Sprig of Oake in my hand thats as strong as ever and if you give me any of your Parlerver I'll be D--d if you shant feel the wait of it"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The comet has the profile head of Napoleon wearing a plumed bicorne; it rushes up from the left towards the sun, the profile head of George III, much irradiated. John Bull, a carbuncled 'cit', stoops low to look through a telescope on a tripod pointing towards the comet. Napoleon looks up at the King, who gazes fixedly above his head. He has ascended from a small piece of land rising from the narrow Channel separating it from John's wider fragment. Up this a frog clambers. On the open sea ships are strung out along the horizon. John says: "Aye - Aye - Master Comet - you may attempt your Periheliums - or your Devil heliums for what I care but take the word of an Old Man you'll never reach the Sun depend upon it"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"John Bull, a spectacled citizen, sits by the table in the Commons reading an 'Extraordinary Red Book' and registering frantic anger.

Can we any longer wonder that the love of Place in these men should supersede every more exalted consideration." The mace rests on a scroll which hangs from the table: 'Plac[es] Earl of Liverpool 14,000,-- Mr Vansittart £7,500, &--Ge Rose £16,551--Vist Melville £11,000-- Mr Wellesley Pole £10,000.'

"Three burlesqued and bare-legged peasants run (left to right) splashing through a bog. The leader is a man carrying on his pitchfork his (patched) breeches and a pair of 'Brouges' or clumsy shoes. He holds a large jug of 'Butter Milk' and under his arm is a bludgeon inscribed 'Sprig of Shillelah'. A woman follows, holding the end of his shirt, with a basket of 'Potatoes' [some falling out] on her head. Her petticoat is kilted up, and the third, a woman, clutches at the end of her shift, to extricate herself from the bog. All three smoke short pipes. The man wears a small wig on unkempt hair which projects through his hat. In the middle distance (left) a woman has fallen, spilling the contents of a large basket of 'Turf', strapped to her back. In the background (right) huntsmen are galloping from rising ground (right) into the bog, in which dogs and horses are partly submerged; geese fly up.

"A sequel to British Museum Satires No. 13397. The Mayor and clerk sit as before. The two constables have brought in three naked bathers, who modestly try to screen their persons with hat, handkerchief, and a basket inscribed 'Sprats from the Royal Canal'. The two women peep in at the door, scandalized; their place near the table is taken by a woman in a red cloak who says: "Blood & Ouns your Worship give poor pat his breeches!!!!" One constable, with coat and breeches over his arm, points to his victims: "Here your Worship, I have brought three of those rebelious Naked Vagabonds before your Lordship to be treated your honor according to Law." The other, also holding ragged garments, stands smugly silent. The men say: [1] "Please your worshipful Lordship tell the Constable to give me my Cloathes--sure & little enough I have of them"; [2] "O! your honor! for the decency of Ireland don't let the Constable sell my poor rags!!!" [3] "By my soul I think is Lordship is going to turn us all into Hottentots." The Mayor, extending a clenched fist, shouts: "You rascals! how dare you presume to cool your selves in the Royal Canal--? No one in this Country must meddle with Royalty--I think I have prevented further indecency on your Parts--give them their cloathes Constable." His left hand rests on a paper: 'Plan for Reforming the City of Dublin'. The two women at the door say: "La what a sight!!!!!!" and "I think it is a greater shame than it was before--I'm quite shock'd to see it." The dandy (? Archer) looks mockingly towards the Mayor, saying, "Well! I think an Archer Bull is not to be found in Joe Miller"."--British Museum online catalogue

To Honour carry Arms with you as you will not get through without a Duel. To Matrimony Caution--Travel this road in boots and wear gloves it being overrun with Nettles.

They hold shillelaghs, wear pouches inscribed 'Potatoes', and fling potatoes towards a small band of ragged sansculottes (right) from whom they are galloping away. These Frenchmen advance, firing muskets; the most prominent fires a cannon. The foremost volunteer, that is, the farthest from the enemy, shouts: "Stop! Stop! ye Scoundrils we shall Soon be after coming up wit ye." The second: "By Jasus if we follow them up at this rate we shall soon see the Tieves out of sight." The third: "Hubbubboo! how the Rogues run their's no overtaking them." The bulls are making for a chasm (left) into which one in the middle distance leaps.
