Abstract:: "The Green Bag, see British Museum Satires No. 13735, &c., is transformed into a hillock covered with grass and foliage, but keeping the contour of a sack; it is inscribed in large letters: 'Commons Green Bag'. On the left it is watched by a group of Ministers, on the right by the Queen and her supporters. The foremost of the latter is Brougham, in wig and gown, who points a rod inscribed 'Queens Attorney General' towards the bag; a mouse crouches in a little hollow at its base. Under his arm is a large document inscribed 'Resolution ..... [Ma]jesty'. The Queen, her hands extended towards him, turns to a second barrister who stands in back-view, saying, "I should make a brave Queen to be frightened at a Mouse." The barrister, Denman, the Queen's Solicitor-General, answers: "A good Conscience is a Wall of Brass, your Majesty will not shrink at a Royal Tiger." On the extreme right, Wood, in an alderman's gown, is speaking to a lady, evidently Lady Ann Hamilton. On the extreme left is a curtain from behind which the King, his head and most of his person being hidden, speaks to Lord Eldon (who like his colleagues is gaping at the bag-mountain): "Why Bags! what's all this!" Eldon, in wig and gown, holding a large document and the Purse of the Great Seal, answers: "The Cat's out of the Bag Sire thats all." Canning exclaims: "Pro-di-gi-ous! as my Friend Domine Sampson [in Scott's 'Guy Mannering', 1815] says!" Castlereagh, very scared, says to Sidmouth: "Doctor could you not prevented [sic] this untimely Birth!" Sidmouth stoops forward, squirting a clyster-pipe at the mouse; in his right hand, like a doctor's gold-headed cane, is a constable's staff. He exclaims: "A Delivery without Nurse or Doctor by Heaven." From his pocket hangs a paper: 'Foreign Circular' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13282]. After the title: 'When mountains cry out, people may well be excused the apprehension of some prodigious Birth, this was the case the Public were all at their wits end, to consider what would be the Issue, and instead of the dreadfull Monster that they expected, out comes at last a contemptible Mouse--The Moral. Much ado about Nothing.-- Reflection. What are all the extravagant attempts and enterprises of weak Men, but morals more or less of this Fable what are mighty pretences without consideration or effect, but the vapours of a distemper, that like sickly Dreams have neither issue nor conection. and the dissapointment is not all neither, for men make themselves ridiculous instead of Terrible, when this Tympany shall come to end in a Blast, and a Mountain to bring forth a Mouse, vide L'Estrange's Esop.--'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "An elaborate symbolical clock has a dial on which the hands are represented by the arms of the Queen, who kneels within it. Canning stands within the smaller disk of the pendulum. The dial and pendulum hang from a curved bar supported on two uprights, one (left) representing the forces of the Army and Navy, the Crown and the Church, and the other the Radicals and their pikes. A fat and carbuncled John Bull, much larger in scale than the other figures, and wearing a huge judge's wig, sits astride the dial where it is surmounted by a crown; he holds a paper: 'Chief justice Bull--Jurisdiction--ad Infinitum'. On the rim of the dial: (left) 'King', 'Lords', (right) 'Commons'. The Queen kneels in profile to the right, her left arm pointing to the crown, her right towards the 'Commons'. The supports of the dial are (left) a cornucopia filled with sovereigns, and (right) a giant cap of Liberty, shaped like the cornucopia, from which project the heads of men wearing bonnets-rouges. On the cornucopia are Liverpool, holding out the 'Green Bag', see British Museum Satires No. 13735, Eldon, Sidmouth with his clyster-pipe, and a fourth Minister. On the bonnet rouge stand four of the Queen's supporters, one (apparently Wood) holding out to her a cap of Liberty. A small scene is inset below the dial, flanked by cornucopia and cap of Liberty. The Green Bag lies on a table, across which Castlereagh (left) and Brougham (right), both wearing boxing-gloves, are fighting, the former on the defensive. Each has a second, Brougham's is a second barrister (? Denman). Below this appear seven vertical rods to which the disk of the pendulum is attached. The centre one is 'Unhappy Medium'. On the left, held by cross-bands inscribed 'Golden Argument' and 'Valuable ties', are 'Royal Sunshine', 'Sinecure', and 'Tangible etcetrias'. On the right, held by 'Magnanimity' [tricolour], are 'Quixotism', 'Public Champion', and 'Radical Celebrity'. Canning stands within the disk of the pendulum, both hands held up, looking in gloomy perplexity to the left. He hesitates between the contrasted lures of the pendulum bars. He is standing between a crown and a cap of Liberty. On the left a winged infant flies off with a money-bag, inscribed '1000', saying, "Adieu!" A similar infant (right) proffers a cap of Liberty, saying, "See here Glory waits thee." Above the disk: 'The Uncertainty of all Sublunary Honors'. The design is bordered, left and right, by the two supports of the beam. On the left a jovial sailor and a handsome soldier stand on a base formed of a 'Treasury Iron Chest'. The corresponding figures on the right are two ragged ruffians with linked arms, each holding a spiked bludgeon and a dagger, who stand on a similar chest: 'Pandora's Box'. Flags are draped above the heads of both: the Royal Arms and Union Jack with a crown (left), and a tricolour flag and a (piratical) black flag (right). Above these are (left) a mitre resting on a Bible, crossed swords, and bayonets, supporting a block on which is a crown. On the opposite side are three caps of Liberty, crossed bludgeon and dagger, and pikes, supporting a block on which is yet another cap of Liberty."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A scene in the Lords. A large Green Bag stands wide open on the floor before the Woolsack; John Bull, a fat 'cit', takes from it a bottle inscribed 'Imputation' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13796]; the cork, in the form of a crown, flies up, and smoke rises. Eldon, seated on the Woolsack, one foot regally on a sack inscribed 'Mother Coal', scowls at the bottle; his mouth, like those of the other peers, is closed by a padlock, but he holds up a paper inscribed: 'My Lords-- Right or Wrong we will proceed'. J.B. faces him with arm flung back, exclaiming: "Stop--hear me first--step one Inch if you dare without my consent-- I protest against your Secret Tribunal I'll protect the Queen look at this Bottle--and look at that Reptile." He refers to a serpent wearing a royal crown and representing the King; this issues from a rent in the bag which is inscribed 'The Green Bag Opened'. Peers are grouped near Eldon, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Wellington, and Liverpool being the most prominent. On the right, behind a bar, stands the Queen wearing a small spiky crown, surrounded by three counsel (Brougham, Denman, and Lushington)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: George IV is shown as a grotesque sea monster, for which the following description is given below image: "He is of immence size, his head and face bear the appearance of a man, he has the neck of a bull, the body of a huge sea hog, the legs of an elephant, and the tail of a porpoise." The beast lies helpless on the shore facing right, emitting a plume from his mouth containing the words "debauchery", "trifling", "vice", "folly", etc. Queen Caroline's defense lawyers reign in the animal, Brougham on the left wielding a broom and Denman on the right holding a chain attached to the beast's collar. Broom exclaims: "At length I see thee! They death warrant's signed." Below him is written "The mighty Broom of Destruction", and a bundle labeled "more broom sticks" sits beside him. Denman stands at the mouth of a cave marked "A DEN", holding a club labeled "The Queens cause" and saying: "That blow from Broom will end thee." Below him is written "The intrepid Den-Man". Frogs, salamandars, snails, and other aquatic creatures enter the water at the feet of both men. Offshore a vessel, with the figurehead of Queen Caroline and flying a banner bearing her name, shoots and injures the monster, streams of blood with words such as "corruption", "bribery", and "perjury & ingratitude" flowing out of the wounds. In the water on either side of the ship, figures thrash about as they try to escape the scene. One in the group of men (politicians?) on the left says "Non mi Ricordo" as he struggles to stay afloat. Among the three men and one woman on the right is the Duke of Wellington, a member of the clergy, and another lawyer

The ghost, garbling Hamlet's words (III. iv, ll. 40-5; 92-4): "Such an Act good Mother, as blurs the / "Grace and Blush of Modesty, calls Virtue Hippocrite / "makes marriage vows as false as Dicers Oaths--Oh / "such a deed! to live in the rank sweat of an / ensemen'd bed stived [sic] in Corruption." Majocchi says: "Non mi Ricardo" [sic]. Beside the Queen, and on the extreme right, are Brougham and Denman, her counsel; they hold documents inscribed 'Defence of the Queen' and 'Queens Defence'. Both register astonished horror: Brougham exclaims (misquoting 'Hamlet', I. ii): "All is not well--I doubt / "some foul play!--for foul / "deeds, will rise--." Denman: "'Tis very strange!" ['Hamlet', I. ii]. The prosecuting counsel (left) are equally disturbed: Gifford, grasping the 'Bill of Pains [and P]enalties', exclaims, misquoting Horatio ['Hamlet', I. i]: "Behold it starteth like / "a guilty thing upon a shamefull "Summons." Copley: "Angels and Ministers / "of Grace defend us" ['Hamlet', I. iv]. A seated judge turns to them, pointing to the Queen, saying: "Look to the Queen!!" ['Hamlet', v. ii]. There is a background of peers, freely indicated, all startled, while spectators watch from the galleries. In the centre foreground a large green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) stands on the floor, from which clouds of smoke emerge; it has a strap (unbuckled) in the form of a huge Garter, inscribed 'Ho[ni]... Pense'. On the bag is a garbled version of Macbeth's words (I. ii): "Will all great Neptune's Ocean wash this Blood clean from this Bag? No! rather shall this Bag the multitudinous Realm incarnadine making the Green one Red.""--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The House of Lords, as arranged for the Bill of Pains and Penalties, see British Museum Satires No. 13825, is seen from the right, so that the angle of the left and end walls form the centre of the design, the throne being on the right. The peers are crowded together to watch the entry of the Queen, complacently seated on a black ram with the head of Bergami; the animal wears two orders, and from its neck hangs a disc inscribed 'Santa Carolina', see British Museum Satires No. 13810. Immediately behind her walks Alderman Wood, wearing his furred gown and holding a decanter. Behind him, and in the foreground, marches Brougham, followed by Denman and Lushington. Her other followers hold long staves. A plebeian fellow in a red gown just behind the barristers may be Fellowes, her chaplain. A woman and a fashionably dressed man walking together are probably Lady Anne Hamilton and Keppel Craven, the Queen's Vice-Chancellor. From the crowd of her supporters emerges a pole supporting a cap of Liberty, and a placard: 'May our Wives be like Her' (which is against pictures of the allegations of the 'trial', see below). In the foreground (left) a ragged Savoyard sings, turning the handle of an orgue de barbarie slung from his neck. On the woolsack, in front of the peers, sits Eldon, saying "Go and Sin no more" (words quoted by Denman in his speech for the defence). On his right stands Grey, hands crossed on his breast, bowing towards the ram. Behind the Chancellor stands a peer, saying, "Innocent as our Wives." On Eldon's left stands a tall man, wearing the ribbon of St. Patrick. On the end of a bench in the right foreground sits a peer who has some resemblance to Liverpool. Behind him stands a man resembling Lord Holland. Among a crowd on the steps of the throne is Wellington. From closely seated peers (left) rises the word 'Guiltless'. In the right foreground, and screening himself by a cloth, a crouching incendiary, resembling Cobbett, holds a torch to a pile of papers. These are Addresses, with, at the base, 'Gunpowder Treason'. The other inscriptions are 'London Address', 'Leeds Address', 'Manchester Address'. The gallery (left) is crowded with spectators; against it and above the heads of those on the floor of the House is a medley of canvasses, supported on poles; on these incidents from the evidence against the Queen are depicted. [1] A Turk, Mahomet, dances (see British Museum Satires No. 13929). [2] The Princess and Bergami sit amorously together. [3] Bergami helps the Princess to dress as the Muse of History (see British Museum Satires No. 13890, &c.). [4] Bergami bathes the Princess (see British Museum Satires No. 13819, &c.). [5] Bergami and the Princess in a carriage (see British Museum Satires No. 13820). [6] The pair look from the tent on the polacca at a helmsman (see British Museum Satires No. 13818, &c.). [7] They inspect statues of Adam and Eve in a grotto ('Parl. Deb.', N.S. ii. 1094). [8] They sit together on the deck of the polacca ('ibid.', pp. 895, 920). [9] Seated under a canopy they are rowed on Lake Como. [10] The Princess dances a pas seul. Enclosed in an oval below the title are the Queen's words: "Here I am Riding on a Black Ram Like a w-e as I am, . . . Therefore I pray you Mr Steward let me have my C-n again." (By the custom of certain manors a widow who, through unchastity, had lost her freebench, or life interest in her husband's copyhold, could recover it by coming into the court on a ram, and reciting the above words ('crown' replacing the 'land' of the original), given in full in 'The Spectator' for 1 Nov. 1714.) The oval is flanked by the 'Savoyards Song' (? by T. Hook). Seven of ten verses (in the peep-show man's patter): '1. Who be dat de Ram do sit on ? Tis C- purest Q- of Briton. Who loves a Ram & Fleece to sit on. Doodle Johnny Calf.... 5. Who talk of 'Self' in dat Green Ribbon ? Oh! dat be de Man who put a Cap on To marry his W- & lives on Pension. O Vanity, Ingratitude. 6.

Oh! dat be de Protestant Sinecure. Doodle [&c.] 8. And who be dose Bravadoes dere, Who bawl out 'Guiltless' with great Stare? Oh! dey be de Cuckolds among de Peer, Doodle [&c.] 9.

Abstract:: "Alderman Wood, as a zany at a fair, stands on a platform outside a booth addressing a crowd of spectators, half length figures in the foreground forming the base of the design. He points with his right thumb to the Queen (left), who is ready to perform, dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 14103 but more grotesquely. On the right are Brougham and Denman, as beefeaters, with the letters 'C R' on the breast, but with legal wig and bands; each has a trumpet; that of Denman, who blows it, has a banner 'Solicit you in General'. Wood has ass's ears, wears a fool's cap and red and yellow gown (see British Museum Satires No. 14122) over his suit, with big jack-boots. Under his arm is a bulky rolled document; he holds out a placard: 'Signora Diable Humbuggina now exhibiting with most astonishing Effect.' His words are etched on a big tricolour placard above his head: 'Now then Ladies and Gemmen, here ye has Signora Diable Humbuggina, the most wonderfullest conjuress that ever vas seed at home or abroad. The most perfect Amphibrous Nondescript Hannimal that was ever seed before or behind. She has exhibited her Genus to all the crowned Potentaties, and all the principalest Men in all Europe including the Day of Alljeers [Tunis, see British Museum Satires No. 12810] von o' the best Judges in this here Universe. This here living vonder o' the vorld can conjure dunghill grubs and Knights of all sorts [see British Museum Satires No. 13810], ride a Donkey [see British Museum Satires No. 14015] a Zebra [see British Museum Satires No. 14110] and her high-horse at von and the same time. Sleep 40 days & nights under the same Tent vith a man, and never be wicious [see British Museum Satires No. 13818]. She can play with all the grace that ever vas, Columbine, Automaton [see British Museum Satires No. 14120, &c.] Pilgrim [see British Museum Satires No. 14121], or Dragon, and swallow all sorts of Spirity liquors by the Gallon and never be the Vorserer [see British Museum Satires No. 14175]--. So now is the time before this most surprisingest exhibition closes. Blow the trumpet Denny--Valk up Ladies and Gemmen-- Vy dont you blow Broom?' The Queen, very décolletée, with an over-dress displaying frilled and spotted drawers or trousers, wears a barn-stormer's crown with towering peacocks' feathers. At her feet is a notice: 'Juggling taught in all its branches'. At the feet of the beefeaters: 'Books of the travels of this wonderfull Phenomenon to be had within'. Their booth is garlanded with fairy lights and surmounted by a cap of Liberty. In the background on left and right are other attractions of the fair. A beefeater with 'G.R' on his breast blows his trumpet outside a booth flying a Union Jack, and inscribed 'Here's your Works. All from Nature. No connexion with the Jugglers.' Outside it are pictorial placards, all of animals with human heads: an ass with the head of Lieut. Hownam, a creature with the head of Bergami, and an ape with the head of Wood as in British Museum Satires No. 14131. Visitors crowd towards it. Before it is a woman in a swing. On the right are two tents, one inscribed 'Good Strong Caroline Brandy', the other flying a tricolour flag inscribed 'Ale and strong liquors'. In the centre foreground stands John Bull, pointing up at the Queen, and addressing the gaping and amused spectators around him. He is a plump respectable countryman, his words engraved below the title: 'Why dang-it I tell ye that ere business be all Impositioning like--Do na g'in, I mysel war taken in tother day; but blow my wig if I ha any more to do wi that shew like.--do na g'in, It be all my eye [cf.

Abstract:: "An emblematical and composite scene, with a realistic background intended for Lake Como, with the Villa d'Este (right), decorated with dancing figures as in British Museum satires no. 14171. In the foreground the Queen, between Bergami and Wood, falls from the tilting summit of a breaking pillar, supported on insecure props. She falls to the left, with Bergami, whose arm is round her waist. Wood, who holds her left hand, falls to the right, weighed down by a block inscribed 'Log' chained to his ankle. A small figure of Justice holding scales descends through the air towards them. The pillar resolves itself into separate blocks on each of which is a letter: 'M O B / I L I T Y'. A board resting on a ram's head forms the tiny platform from which the trio are falling. The pillar rests on a slab inscribed 'Adultery'. This is supported on the bewigged head of Brougham which is raised on three props: a massive broom, and two beams poised on a rectanglar cage in which sits a second and much smaller lawyer (Denman). The beams are respectively 'Sham Addresses' and 'Hired Processions' [see British Museum satires no. 14182]. These props are flanked by two ladders resting against the 'Adultery' slab, by which Bergami (see British Museum satires no. 14183) and Wood (see British Museum satires no. 13734) have reached the Queen. One (left) is inscribed 'Brass'; from it dangle emblems of Bergami: a postilion's boot, a whip, and a Maltese cross, see British Museum satires no. 13810. The other (right) is 'Wood'; from it dangle a bottle, a pestle and mortar, and a porter's knot. In the foreground (right) are thistles, emblem of 'Thistle-Wood', see British Museum satires no. 14146. On Lake Como sails (left) a one-masted vessel with a tent on its deck, the polacca, see British Museum satires no. 13818. Beyond its shores and on the extreme left are tiny buildings representing Jerusalem. A lake-side signpost, 'To Jerusalem', points in the same direction, and near it the Princess and Bergami ride side by side on asses (see British Museum satires no. 13918, &c.). On the right is a travelling-carriage, with two horses and a postilion; in it sit the same couple. On the door are the letters 'C·B'. In the lake behind it the pair are seen bathing, two nude figures standing waist-deep, holding hands. Near them is an empty rowing-boat inscribed 'Como'.."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A burlesque coronation of the Queen. She sits enthroned on a dais, raising her right foot with tipsy joviality. In her right hand as sceptre is a rod topped by a tiny cask which a naked Bacchus bestrides. The orb in her left hand is a decanter; on her head is a tilting punch-bowl. She watches her champion Wood (left) (acting the part of Dymoke, cf. British Museum Satires No. 14193), a grotesque figure in armour on a caparisoned ass (see British Museum Satires No. 14146). He has just thrown down the glove, pulling his braying mount on to its haunches, and looks up with a fatuous stare at the Queen. His helmet is topped by an owl from which clouds of smoke ascend (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14196). John Bull (right), a 'cit' wearing an ill-fitting wig and top-boots, stoops to pick up the glove, supporting himself by a cudgel inscribed My God My King a[nd my] Country. Between these two foreground figures stands a ragged newsboy holding his horn, the paper in his cap inscribed Brandy burgh [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14191] Gazette; slung from his shoulders is a large sheaf of his newspaper, Brandyburg Gazette Extraordinary--Baron B.....i to be Il Baron par Excellence--Ad- W - - d to be Earl Log [see British Museum Satires No. 14189]--Lady A H [Anne Hamilton] to be Spinster for Life--L. H - - d to be Marquis Doodle. Attendants are grouped round the Queen on the dais, which is under festooned curtains. These are (left to right): Denman and Brougham, in wig and gown, applauding and gesturing; two turbaned Turks; Bergami, handsome and complacent, at the Queen's right hand. Slightly behind are a simian face, Lady Anne Hamilton wearing the feathered Scots cap of British Museum Satires No. 14175, and another woman, Italian in appearance (probably Countess Oldi). Behind the Queen's chair on the right are two hooded figures, the more prominent, who holds a decanter, being Viscount Hood, the other perhaps Keppel Craven. Two naval officers must be Hownam and Flinn. On the canopy of the throne behind the Queen are her arms; the quarterings are wine-glasses, bottles, a tent (see British Museum Satires No. 13818), and a bath containing a tiny figure (see British Museum Satires No. 13819). The supporters are a satyr and a goat; the motto, Bergami and My Bottle [see British Museum Satires No. 14175]. On the extreme left, supported on Gothic arches, is a gallery crowded with ladies, as in Westminster Abbey at the Coronation. On a lower level, seen through the arches of the Abbey, is a dense proletarian crowd with banners, pikes, and caps of Liberty. The characters are indicated by inscriptions divided by vertical lines, as in British Museum Satires No. 14182, and centred by a cartouche. These are (left to right): Mobility in Attendance. The Champion of Absolute Wisdom [see British Museum Satires No. 13899] on his renowned Steed. The Keepers of her Majesty's Conscience [her Counsel]. Her Majesty's Lord Great Chamberlain Her Majesty's Privy Counsellor Knight Commander of the Bath Chief Performer of the Canopy Service and Courier Extraordinary [Bergami]. Hooded Doodles in Waiting [Lord Hood and his companion]. Barons of the Bedposts. Performers of the Canopy Service [the naval officers]. In the cartouche: If any Person of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Puppet C . r . l . . e Columbina [see British Museum Satires No. 14120] of Brandy-burgh House, of the United Kingdoms of Soberness and Chastity, Defender of the easy Virtues &c &c the Right of being Crowned with a crown Bowl of Imperial Punch, or that she should not enjoy the same, here is her Champion, who saith he doth not care a Drug, being ready in person to lay a bet that she is, and in this wager will venture his Eighteen Pence against a Shilling wherever, and whenever his Adversary may choose."--British Museum online catalogue

A fat and carbuncled John Bull, much larger in scale than the other figures, and wearing a huge judge's wig, sits astride the dial where it is surmounted by a crown; he holds a paper: 'Chief justice Bull--Jurisdiction--ad Infinitum'. On the rim of the dial: (left) 'King', 'Lords', (right) 'Commons'. The Queen kneels in profile to the right, her left arm pointing to the crown, her right towards the 'Commons'. The supports of the dial are (left) a cornucopia filled with sovereigns, and (right) a giant cap of Liberty, shaped like the cornucopia, from which project the heads of men wearing bonnets-rouges. On the cornucopia are Liverpool, holding out the 'Green Bag', see British Museum Satires No. 13735, Eldon, Sidmouth with his clyster-pipe, and a fourth Minister. On the bonnet rouge stand four of the Queen's supporters, one (apparently Wood) holding out to her a cap of Liberty. A small scene is inset below the dial, flanked by cornucopia and cap of Liberty. The Green Bag lies on a table, across which Castlereagh (left) and Brougham (right), both wearing boxing-gloves, are fighting, the former on the defensive. Each has a second, Brougham's is a second barrister (? Denman). Below this appear seven vertical rods to which the disk of the pendulum is attached. The centre one is 'Unhappy Medium'. On the left, held by cross-bands inscribed 'Golden Argument' and 'Valuable ties', are 'Royal Sunshine', 'Sinecure', and 'Tangible etcetrias'. On the right, held by 'Magnanimity' [tricolour], are 'Quixotism', 'Public Champion', and 'Radical Celebrity'. Canning stands within the disk of the pendulum, both hands held up, looking in gloomy perplexity to the left. He hesitates between the contrasted lures of the pendulum bars. He is standing between a crown and a cap of Liberty. On the left a winged infant flies off with a money-bag, inscribed '1000', saying, "Adieu!" A similar infant (right) proffers a cap of Liberty, saying, "See here Glory waits thee." Above the disk: 'The Uncertainty of all Sublunary Honors'. The design is bordered, left and right, by the two supports of the beam. On the left a jovial sailor and a handsome soldier stand on a base formed of a 'Treasury Iron Chest'. The corresponding figures on the right are two ragged ruffians with linked arms, each holding a spiked bludgeon and a dagger, who stand on a similar chest: 'Pandora's Box'. Flags are draped above the heads of both: the Royal Arms and Union Jack with a crown (left), and a tricolour flag and a (piratical) black flag (right). Above these are (left) a mitre resting on a Bible, crossed swords, and bayonets, supporting a block on which is a crown. On the opposite side are three caps of Liberty, crossed bludgeon and dagger, and pikes, supporting a block on which is yet another cap of Liberty."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Green Bag, see British Museum Satires No. 13735, &c., is transformed into a hillock covered with grass and foliage, but keeping the contour of a sack; it is inscribed in large letters: 'Commons Green Bag'. On the left it is watched by a group of Ministers, on the right by the Queen and her supporters. The foremost of the latter is Brougham, in wig and gown, who points a rod inscribed 'Queens Attorney General' towards the bag; a mouse crouches in a little hollow at its base. Under his arm is a large document inscribed 'Resolution ..... [Ma]jesty'. The Queen, her hands extended towards him, turns to a second barrister who stands in back-view, saying, "I should make a brave Queen to be frightened at a Mouse." The barrister, Denman, the Queen's Solicitor-General, answers: "A good Conscience is a Wall of Brass, your Majesty will not shrink at a Royal Tiger." On the extreme right, Wood, in an alderman's gown, is speaking to a lady, evidently Lady Ann Hamilton. On the extreme left is a curtain from behind which the King, his head and most of his person being hidden, speaks to Lord Eldon (who like his colleagues is gaping at the bag-mountain): "Why Bags! what's all this!" Eldon, in wig and gown, holding a large document and the Purse of the Great Seal, answers: "The Cat's out of the Bag Sire thats all." Canning exclaims: "Pro-di-gi-ous! as my Friend Domine Sampson [in Scott's 'Guy Mannering', 1815] says!" Castlereagh, very scared, says to Sidmouth: "Doctor could you not prevented [sic] this untimely Birth!" Sidmouth stoops forward, squirting a clyster-pipe at the mouse; in his right hand, like a doctor's gold-headed cane, is a constable's staff. He exclaims: "A Delivery without Nurse or Doctor by Heaven." From his pocket hangs a paper: 'Foreign Circular' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13282]. After the title: 'When mountains cry out, people may well be excused the apprehension of some prodigious Birth, this was the case the Public were all at their wits end, to consider what would be the Issue, and instead of the dreadfull Monster that they expected, out comes at last a contemptible Mouse--The Moral. Much ado about Nothing.-- Reflection. What are all the extravagant attempts and enterprises of weak Men, but morals more or less of this Fable what are mighty pretences without consideration or effect, but the vapours of a distemper, that like sickly Dreams have neither issue nor conection. and the dissapointment is not all neither, for men make themselves ridiculous instead of Terrible, when this Tympany shall come to end in a Blast, and a Mountain to bring forth a Mouse, vide L'Estrange's Esop.--'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A scene in the Lords. A large Green Bag stands wide open on the floor before the Woolsack; John Bull, a fat 'cit', takes from it a bottle inscribed 'Imputation' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13796]; the cork, in the form of a crown, flies up, and smoke rises. Eldon, seated on the Woolsack, one foot regally on a sack inscribed 'Mother Coal', scowls at the bottle; his mouth, like those of the other peers, is closed by a padlock, but he holds up a paper inscribed: 'My Lords-- Right or Wrong we will proceed'. J.B. faces him with arm flung back, exclaiming: "Stop--hear me first--step one Inch if you dare without my consent-- I protest against your Secret Tribunal I'll protect the Queen look at this Bottle--and look at that Reptile." He refers to a serpent wearing a royal crown and representing the King; this issues from a rent in the bag which is inscribed 'The Green Bag Opened'. Peers are grouped near Eldon, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Wellington, and Liverpool being the most prominent. On the right, behind a bar, stands the Queen wearing a small spiky crown, surrounded by three counsel (Brougham, Denman, and Lushington)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A scene in the House of Lords, the foreground being filled by a fantastic game of chess. Gifford (left) and Brougham (right) play on a large chess-board supported on the heads of three witnesses against the Queen: Rastelli (?), Demont, and Majocchi. Copley watches behind Gifford's chair; both register consternation. Denman leans on Brougham's chair; both smile. The King, as a Chinese mandarin at Q.R. 4 is in check to the Queen (Q.R. 2), who stands beside Alderman Wood, her 'chief pawn'; both are whole length portraits. At the back of the board are two knights (men on horseback): ' Sir Exoff' (Gifford, so styled from the ex-officio Informations of the Attorney-General, see British Museum Satires No. 11717), and 'Birch' (Brougham). In the centre of the board stand five tiny men, the Queen's pawns, surrounding a woman in white (the Queen, who thus appears twice). The only pieces represented as chessmen are castles with the heads of Castlereagh and Wellington and two bishops, Canterbury and Exeter. Gifford has lost all his pawns: they are Italian witnesses who lie on the ground, broken, by Brougham's chair. Behind, the benches converge in perspective on the throne; Eldon, seated on the Woolsack, registers dismay. Peers, crowded on the ministerial benches (left) are alarmed. Those opposite are fewer: some are mildly pleased, others indifferent."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "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

Abstract:: "A fantastic and complicated design. Queen Caroline leans back in an arm-chair, pen in hand, staring as if at a vision, her black locks flying outwards and upwards. Above her head, as if sprung from it, is an owl with the cross of the Order of St. Caroline (see British Museum Satires No. 13810) in its beak, and on its head a fool's cap with bells. She wears a décolletée dress with voluminous gathered trousers, as in many prints; her right foot is placed regally on a footstool. Her right arm rests on a table and on the paper on which she writes: To the King. She listens to a serpent held up by Dr. Parr, brandyfaced and naked except for his wig, one of several figures pressing round her, partly obscured by shadow. Lieut. Hownam looks over her right shoulder, two other faces are partly hidden, one may be Flinn, the other resembles Burdett. The aquiline profile of Hobhouse is behind Parr. On the right stands a broom, supporting a wig and gown (Brougham); another wig and gown beside it must indicate Denman; both are in back view. On the left and in the foreground stands Wood, as a devil, hairy and naked except for a furred gown, symbol of the alderman. He turns towards her, holding a baton, topped by a little cap of Liberty, and strings attached to two tiny processions: a state-coach (the Queen's) drawn by four horses and a band of armoured men on horseback, with banners, one inscribed Brass [the braziers' procession, see British Museum Satires No. 14119]. They are surrounded by clouds of dust. Over his shoulder look Cobbett, wearing a red cap with tricolour cockade and brandishing a bone (Paine's, see British Museum Satires No. 13525). To left and right of these advisers are evil gangs (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14194): a procession (left) of men with tall staves or pikes topped by caps of Liberty, and with a tricolour banner inscribed No Church no King no Constitution Universal Suffrage & Annual Plunder for ever. They wave their hats and cheer; their leader wears an apron. Above them floats a figure of Justice holding scales and a crown. Behind on the right naked arms raise firebrands, fanatical faces loom from the shadow; one at least has the snaky locks of Discord. The ornate round table at which the Queen writes is piled with boxes; on the largest, inscribed Secrets of the Baron, stands a small lifelike image of Bergami dressed as a courier. Other objects are a wallet from which projects a paper: 50,000 Per Ann [see British Museum Satires No. 14145], a vase of flowers, a decanter labelled (punningly) Tent [see British Museum Satires No. 13818]. On the floor are two figurines, one in back view, the other of Mahomet dancing (see British Museum Satires No. 13929). At the Queen's feet are her much-feathered four-cornered cap, and papers, one headed My dear Ca . . . and signed BB [Bartolomeo Bergami], the other beginning My dear C and signed Mat. [Wood]. By the broom are bulky bundles of papers: Brooming Correspondence and Defence of Moth[er Red Cap, see British Museum Satires No. 13975]. The owl is the base of an irregular inverted cone, formed of cloud-borne objects from the Queen's head. These are: Cobbets Register, The Times (see British Museum Satires No. 13968), The Champion (see British Museum Satires No. 13677), realistically depicted; three conical caps of Liberty with tricolour cockades inscribed respectively Bat, Cat, Mat [for Bergami, the Queen, and Wood; the title of a print, see British Museum Satires No. 14206 [23]]; Letters to Watch Makers [of] Coventry C B, over which hangs a watch and chain. Two large sketch-books, open: [1] Journal of a Tour to Jerusalem [see British Museum Satires No. 13918, &c.] with a view of a large mosque inscribed Temple of Solomon C.B del. [2] [Mem]oranda of the [Vi]lla d Este, facing a view of a large lake-side villa (see British Museum Satires No. 13857); this partly covers a third sketch: [Bucki]ngham House [the Queen's House as in British Museum Satires No. 14175]. Three large bundles of letters: Letters to the Baron [Bergami]; Wooden Headed Addresses Below Par; Answers to Addresses above Par [i.e. composed by Parr, see British Museum Satires No. 13934]. In a picture of a royal coach drawn by six horses and with three footmen behind the tiny passenger seems to be the Queen. Next this along the upper edge of the cone are pieces of plate decorated with a crown: urn, salver, goblet, candlestick, spoons, &c, with a paper: Plate Subscription.."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A burlesque coronation of the Queen. She sits enthroned on a dais, raising her right foot with tipsy joviality. In her right hand as sceptre is a rod topped by a tiny cask which a naked Bacchus bestrides. The orb in her left hand is a decanter; on her head is a tilting punch-bowl. She watches her champion Wood (left) (acting the part of Dymoke, cf. British Museum Satires No. 14193), a grotesque figure in armour on a caparisoned ass (see British Museum Satires No. 14146). He has just thrown down the glove, pulling his braying mount on to its haunches, and looks up with a fatuous stare at the Queen. His helmet is topped by an owl from which clouds of smoke ascend (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14196). John Bull (right), a 'cit' wearing an ill-fitting wig and top-boots, stoops to pick up the glove, supporting himself by a cudgel inscribed My God My King a[nd my] Country. Between these two foreground figures stands a ragged newsboy holding his horn, the paper in his cap inscribed Brandy burgh [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14191] Gazette; slung from his shoulders is a large sheaf of his newspaper, Brandyburg Gazette Extraordinary--Baron B.....i to be Il Baron par Excellence--Ad- W - - d to be Earl Log [see British Museum Satires No. 14189]--Lady A H [Anne Hamilton] to be Spinster for Life--L. H - - d to be Marquis Doodle. Attendants are grouped round the Queen on the dais, which is under festooned curtains. These are (left to right): Denman and Brougham, in wig and gown, applauding and gesturing; two turbaned Turks; Bergami, handsome and complacent, at the Queen's right hand. Slightly behind are a simian face, Lady Anne Hamilton wearing the feathered Scots cap of British Museum Satires No. 14175, and another woman, Italian in appearance (probably Countess Oldi). Behind the Queen's chair on the right are two hooded figures, the more prominent, who holds a decanter, being Viscount Hood, the other perhaps Keppel Craven. Two naval officers must be Hownam and Flinn. On the canopy of the throne behind the Queen are her arms; the quarterings are wine-glasses, bottles, a tent (see British Museum Satires No. 13818), and a bath containing a tiny figure (see British Museum Satires No. 13819). The supporters are a satyr and a goat; the motto, Bergami and My Bottle [see British Museum Satires No. 14175]. On the extreme left, supported on Gothic arches, is a gallery crowded with ladies, as in Westminster Abbey at the Coronation. On a lower level, seen through the arches of the Abbey, is a dense proletarian crowd with banners, pikes, and caps of Liberty. The characters are indicated by inscriptions divided by vertical lines, as in British Museum Satires No. 14182, and centred by a cartouche. These are (left to right): Mobility in Attendance. The Champion of Absolute Wisdom [see British Museum Satires No. 13899] on his renowned Steed. The Keepers of her Majesty's Conscience [her Counsel]. Her Majesty's Lord Great Chamberlain Her Majesty's Privy Counsellor Knight Commander of the Bath Chief Performer of the Canopy Service and Courier Extraordinary [Bergami]. Hooded Doodles in Waiting [Lord Hood and his companion]. Barons of the Bedposts. Performers of the Canopy Service [the naval officers]. In the cartouche: If any Person of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Puppet C . r . l . . e Columbina [see British Museum Satires No. 14120] of Brandy-burgh House, of the United Kingdoms of Soberness and Chastity, Defender of the easy Virtues &c &c the Right of being Crowned with a crown Bowl of Imperial Punch, or that she should not enjoy the same, here is her Champion, who saith he doth not care a Drug, being ready in person to lay a bet that she is, and in this wager will venture his Eighteen Pence against a Shilling wherever, and whenever his Adversary may choose."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Scene in the House of Lords at the Queen's 'trial', showing the throne against the end wall, with the two (temporary) galleries. The Queen exclaims in terror, both arms raised, at the sight of the first witness against her, Majocchi, and of the ghost of Princess Charlotte, who stands, draped in white, beside him, holding her infant, with an arm extended towards the Queen. The latter shrieks: "Theodore!! my Daughter too! ah! what have I done!!! Oh speak." The ghost, garbling Hamlet's words (III. iv, ll. 40-5; 92-4): "Such an Act good Mother, as blurs the / "Grace and Blush of Modesty, calls Virtue Hippocrite / "makes marriage vows as false as Dicers Oaths--Oh / "such a deed! to live in the rank sweat of an / ensemen'd bed stived [sic] in Corruption." Majocchi says: "Non mi Ricardo" [sic]. Beside the Queen, and on the extreme right, are Brougham and Denman, her counsel; they hold documents inscribed 'Defence of the Queen' and 'Queens Defence'. Both register astonished horror: Brougham exclaims (misquoting 'Hamlet', I. ii): "All is not well--I doubt / "some foul play!--for foul / "deeds, will rise--." Denman: "'Tis very strange!" ['Hamlet', I. ii]. The prosecuting counsel (left) are equally disturbed: Gifford, grasping the 'Bill of Pains [and P]enalties', exclaims, misquoting Horatio ['Hamlet', I. i]: "Behold it starteth like / "a guilty thing upon a shamefull "Summons." Copley: "Angels and Ministers / "of Grace defend us" ['Hamlet', I. iv]. A seated judge turns to them, pointing to the Queen, saying: "Look to the Queen!!" ['Hamlet', v. ii]. There is a background of peers, freely indicated, all startled, while spectators watch from the galleries. In the centre foreground a large green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) stands on the floor, from which clouds of smoke emerge; it has a strap (unbuckled) in the form of a huge Garter, inscribed 'Ho[ni]... Pense'. On the bag is a garbled version of Macbeth's words (I. ii): "Will all great Neptune's Ocean wash this Blood clean from this Bag? No! rather shall this Bag the multitudinous Realm incarnadine making the Green one Red.""--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "An emblematical and composite scene, with a realistic background intended for Lake Como, with the Villa d'Este (right), decorated with dancing figures as in British Museum satires no. 14171. In the foreground the Queen, between Bergami and Wood, falls from the tilting summit of a breaking pillar, supported on insecure props. She falls to the left, with Bergami, whose arm is round her waist. Wood, who holds her left hand, falls to the right, weighed down by a block inscribed 'Log' chained to his ankle. A small figure of Justice holding scales descends through the air towards them. The pillar resolves itself into separate blocks on each of which is a letter: 'M O B / I L I T Y'. A board resting on a ram's head forms the tiny platform from which the trio are falling. The pillar rests on a slab inscribed 'Adultery'. This is supported on the bewigged head of Brougham which is raised on three props: a massive broom, and two beams poised on a rectanglar cage in which sits a second and much smaller lawyer (Denman). The beams are respectively 'Sham Addresses' and 'Hired Processions' [see British Museum satires no. 14182]. These props are flanked by two ladders resting against the 'Adultery' slab, by which Bergami (see British Museum satires no. 14183) and Wood (see British Museum satires no. 13734) have reached the Queen. One (left) is inscribed 'Brass'; from it dangle emblems of Bergami: a postilion's boot, a whip, and a Maltese cross, see British Museum satires no. 13810. The other (right) is 'Wood'; from it dangle a bottle, a pestle and mortar, and a porter's knot. In the foreground (right) are thistles, emblem of 'Thistle-Wood', see British Museum satires no. 14146. On Lake Como sails (left) a one-masted vessel with a tent on its deck, the polacca, see British Museum satires no. 13818. Beyond its shores and on the extreme left are tiny buildings representing Jerusalem. A lake-side signpost, 'To Jerusalem', points in the same direction, and near it the Princess and Bergami ride side by side on asses (see British Museum satires no. 13918, &c.). On the right is a travelling-carriage, with two horses and a postilion; in it sit the same couple. On the door are the letters 'C·B'. In the lake behind it the pair are seen bathing, two nude figures standing waist-deep, holding hands. Near them is an empty rowing-boat inscribed 'Como'.."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Alderman Wood, as a zany at a fair, stands on a platform outside a booth addressing a crowd of spectators, half length figures in the foreground forming the base of the design. He points with his right thumb to the Queen (left), who is ready to perform, dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 14103 but more grotesquely. On the right are Brougham and Denman, as beefeaters, with the letters 'C R' on the breast, but with legal wig and bands; each has a trumpet; that of Denman, who blows it, has a banner 'Solicit you in General'. Wood has ass's ears, wears a fool's cap and red and yellow gown (see British Museum Satires No. 14122) over his suit, with big jack-boots. Under his arm is a bulky rolled document; he holds out a placard: 'Signora Diable Humbuggina now exhibiting with most astonishing Effect.' His words are etched on a big tricolour placard above his head: 'Now then Ladies and Gemmen, here ye has Signora Diable Humbuggina, the most wonderfullest conjuress that ever vas seed at home or abroad. The most perfect Amphibrous Nondescript Hannimal that was ever seed before or behind. She has exhibited her Genus to all the crowned Potentaties, and all the principalest Men in all Europe including the Day of Alljeers [Tunis, see British Museum Satires No. 12810] von o' the best Judges in this here Universe. This here living vonder o' the vorld can conjure dunghill grubs and Knights of all sorts [see British Museum Satires No. 13810], ride a Donkey [see British Museum Satires No. 14015] a Zebra [see British Museum Satires No. 14110] and her high-horse at von and the same time. Sleep 40 days & nights under the same Tent vith a man, and never be wicious [see British Museum Satires No. 13818]. She can play with all the grace that ever vas, Columbine, Automaton [see British Museum Satires No. 14120, &c.] Pilgrim [see British Museum Satires No. 14121], or Dragon, and swallow all sorts of Spirity liquors by the Gallon and never be the Vorserer [see British Museum Satires No. 14175]--. So now is the time before this most surprisingest exhibition closes. Blow the trumpet Denny--Valk up Ladies and Gemmen-- Vy dont you blow Broom?' The Queen, very décolletée, with an over-dress displaying frilled and spotted drawers or trousers, wears a barn-stormer's crown with towering peacocks' feathers. At her feet is a notice: 'Juggling taught in all its branches'. At the feet of the beefeaters: 'Books of the travels of this wonderfull Phenomenon to be had within'. Their booth is garlanded with fairy lights and surmounted by a cap of Liberty. In the background on left and right are other attractions of the fair. A beefeater with 'G.R' on his breast blows his trumpet outside a booth flying a Union Jack, and inscribed 'Here's your Works. All from Nature. No connexion with the Jugglers.' Outside it are pictorial placards, all of animals with human heads: an ass with the head of Lieut. Hownam, a creature with the head of Bergami, and an ape with the head of Wood as in British Museum Satires No. 14131. Visitors crowd towards it. Before it is a woman in a swing. On the right are two tents, one inscribed 'Good Strong Caroline Brandy', the other flying a tricolour flag inscribed 'Ale and strong liquors'. In the centre foreground stands John Bull, pointing up at the Queen, and addressing the gaping and amused spectators around him. He is a plump respectable countryman, his words engraved below the title: 'Why dang-it I tell ye that ere business be all Impositioning like--Do na g'in, I mysel war taken in tother day; but blow my wig if I ha any more to do wi that shew like.--do na g'in, It be all my eye [cf.

Abstract:: "The House of Lords, as arranged for the Bill of Pains and Penalties, see British Museum Satires No. 13825, is seen from the right, so that the angle of the left and end walls form the centre of the design, the throne being on the right. The peers are crowded together to watch the entry of the Queen, complacently seated on a black ram with the head of Bergami; the animal wears two orders, and from its neck hangs a disc inscribed 'Santa Carolina', see British Museum Satires No. 13810. Immediately behind her walks Alderman Wood, wearing his furred gown and holding a decanter. Behind him, and in the foreground, marches Brougham, followed by Denman and Lushington. Her other followers hold long staves. A plebeian fellow in a red gown just behind the barristers may be Fellowes, her chaplain. A woman and a fashionably dressed man walking together are probably Lady Anne Hamilton and Keppel Craven, the Queen's Vice-Chancellor. From the crowd of her supporters emerges a pole supporting a cap of Liberty, and a placard: 'May our Wives be like Her' (which is against pictures of the allegations of the 'trial', see below). In the foreground (left) a ragged Savoyard sings, turning the handle of an orgue de barbarie slung from his neck. On the woolsack, in front of the peers, sits Eldon, saying "Go and Sin no more" (words quoted by Denman in his speech for the defence). On his right stands Grey, hands crossed on his breast, bowing towards the ram. Behind the Chancellor stands a peer, saying, "Innocent as our Wives." On Eldon's left stands a tall man, wearing the ribbon of St. Patrick. On the end of a bench in the right foreground sits a peer who has some resemblance to Liverpool. Behind him stands a man resembling Lord Holland. Among a crowd on the steps of the throne is Wellington. From closely seated peers (left) rises the word 'Guiltless'. In the right foreground, and screening himself by a cloth, a crouching incendiary, resembling Cobbett, holds a torch to a pile of papers. These are Addresses, with, at the base, 'Gunpowder Treason'. The other inscriptions are 'London Address', 'Leeds Address', 'Manchester Address'. The gallery (left) is crowded with spectators; against it and above the heads of those on the floor of the House is a medley of canvasses, supported on poles; on these incidents from the evidence against the Queen are depicted. [1] A Turk, Mahomet, dances (see British Museum Satires No. 13929). [2] The Princess and Bergami sit amorously together. [3] Bergami helps the Princess to dress as the Muse of History (see British Museum Satires No. 13890, &c.). [4] Bergami bathes the Princess (see British Museum Satires No. 13819, &c.). [5] Bergami and the Princess in a carriage (see British Museum Satires No. 13820). [6] The pair look from the tent on the polacca at a helmsman (see British Museum Satires No. 13818, &c.). [7] They inspect statues of Adam and Eve in a grotto ('Parl. Deb.', N.S. ii. 1094). [8] They sit together on the deck of the polacca ('ibid.', pp. 895, 920). [9] Seated under a canopy they are rowed on Lake Como. [10] The Princess dances a pas seul. Enclosed in an oval below the title are the Queen's words: "Here I am Riding on a Black Ram Like a w-e as I am, . . . Therefore I pray you Mr Steward let me have my C-n again." (By the custom of certain manors a widow who, through unchastity, had lost her freebench, or life interest in her husband's copyhold, could recover it by coming into the court on a ram, and reciting the above words ('crown' replacing the 'land' of the original), given in full in 'The Spectator' for 1 Nov. 1714.) The oval is flanked by the 'Savoyards Song' (? by T. Hook). Seven of ten verses (in the peep-show man's patter): '1. Who be dat de Ram do sit on ? Tis C- purest Q- of Briton. Who loves a Ram & Fleece to sit on. Doodle Johnny Calf.... 5. Who talk of 'Self' in dat Green Ribbon ? Oh! dat be de Man who put a Cap on To marry his W- & lives on Pension. O Vanity, Ingratitude. 6.
