- Abstract:
- In an outdoor setting, Lord North and Charles Fox are shown embracing. Fox, taller of the two, his face expressing satisfaction, nearly lifts the perplexed-looking North off the ground in an attempt to kiss him on the mouth saying, "I perfectly agree with your Lord Ship." To their right, under a tree, a fox and a clumsy-looking dog with a collar inscribed "North" sniff at each other. In the background on the left stands a small figure of Lord Shelburne saying "Risum teneatis Amici."

- A fox with the face of Charles Fox runs away from a pack of hunting dogs, foremost of which is Pitt, with the key to the Treasury hanging from his collar, with Thurlow, in a Chancellor's wig. They are followed by the dogs representing the Duke of Richmond, Henry Dundas, and Lord Nugent. Behind them, Lord Temple, in a jockey's outfit, rides on an ass with the King's face. Above, a smiling sun with Lord Shelburne's face, casts rays at the hunting party, while the upset-looking Boreas (Lord North) blasts cold air at Pitt's head to impede his progress

- Abstract:
- The agitated George III, a trowel in his hand, watches Charles Fox, as a fox, with the "liberty" ribbon draped accross his back, leap over the "vanity pit" (William Pitt) in pursuit of a pack of hounds. In Fox's mouth is the judge's cloak that he pulled off the bewigged and snarling hound (Lord Thurlow). A column inscribed, "to Eastern tyranny," topples down upsetting the male figure of Injustice who holds a sword and a pair of scales. The fox urinates on one of the lanterns that symbolize conspiracy. Behind it, Boreas (Lord North) succeeds in blowing down the "Temple of secret influence" (Lord Temple).
