"A parody of British Museum Satires No. 9752, Gillray's 'Dido in Despair!' The Queen takes the place of Lady Hamilton, in a similar pose but tearing her long black hair with more of rage and less of grief. She wears a bracelet on each arm, one inscribed 'BB' (for Bergami), the other 'MW' (for Wood). On the floor are gifts to the Queen. Her bare right foot rests on a large cake inscribed 'MW' on which are various emblems: a large crown, which she kicks over, busts of Wood, Bergami, Lieut. Hownam, and an unidentified person; also a goat, an ass, and a cat. This stands on a paper: 'Mr Trifle's Love to the Q[ueen]'. A huge round of beef is ticketed 'With Mr Suets Love to the Q--n'; with this is a roll of 'Cat's Meat'. A model of a pair of stays enclosed in a glass case stands on two papers: 'Glass-blower's Delight' and 'O stay my love my Cary dear'. A pair of breeches of metal is 'For Bat [Bergami] or Cat ad libitum from the Brazier[s]'. Caricatures lie near a pair of slippers inscribed 'BB'; the uppermost is of Bergami drinking at a table between Wood and the Queen. A book is 'Catalogue of Fancy Men'. The glass on the dressing-table is topped by a crescent; on it hang miniatures of Bergami and Wood (cf. No. 13858). The table is covered with decanters, one labelled 'Brandy' [see British Museum Satires No. 14175], glass, pill-box, and boxes of 'Rouge', 'Brick dust', and 'Court Plaister'. The curtains of the bed are fringed with gold and hang from a pelmet. In place of Gillray's open sash-window is a closed French window; outside is a landscape, with two asses, and a lake (Como) with a sailing-boat."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Design in a circle. Three men sit by a rectangular supper-table, a grandfather-clock behind them points to XI. The man on the left is having his jack-boots pulled off by a small boy; the boy stands astride his right leg pulling hard, his back to the man, who is scowling and pushes his other booted foot against the boy's back; on the floor are a pair of spurs, a pair of slippers, and a boot-jack. A man (right) wearing a night-cap, but otherwise completely dressed and wearing spurred boots, leans one elbow on the table, his face contorted as if in pain, he holds his hand to his thigh. On the table beside him is a small packet inscribed "Diaculum". In the centre, and on the farther side of the table, the third man leans both elbows on the table, his hair is tousled and his eyes are shut. A man-servant behind, yawning, is carrying off a square box, probably a wig-box, while a maidservant stands on the right, a candle in one hand, a warming-pan in the other, watching with amusement the efforts of the boy to pull off the boot. Three hats hang on the wall; a bottle, a plate, three wine-glasses, and a guttering candle, burnt down to the socket, stand on the table."--British Museum online catalogue
