The screech owl and the ass, a tale (BM J,4.54), Heading to a printed broadside. Fox, with the body of an owl, flies off (right) with money-bags slung round his neck and across his back. North, with the body of an ass, stands on the ground looking up at him, his Garter ribbon across his body. He says, "Consider F--x the Coalition". Fox says, "I have all that ee'r my heart could wish on". Four of his five bags are inscribed: 'For the Woman of the People' (Fox and Perdita had been called 'The Man and Woman of the People', see BMSat 6117; during the Westminster Election the Duchess of Devonshire had been called 'the Woman of the People'); 'Mr Faro £20,000'; 'An Independence'; 'For Mr E-O £10,000'. For the game of E.O. see BMSat 5928, &c.; for Fox's faro bank at Brooks's see BMSat 5972. On the ground between North and Fox is a round ointment-box inscribed 'Fox's lungs for hoarseness' and a larger pot inscribed 'Ointment of Transformation.' c.1784 [Miss Banks has written 'about the year 1786 or before']

フクロウとイシの話。フクロウの体で、金棒を首を振り回して背中を横切って飛んでくる。北はロバの体で、地面に立って彼を見上げ、ガーターのリボンを体に向けている。彼は「F---xザ・コアリション」と発言している。フォックスは「私は、心が願えるものすべてを持っている」と言った。彼の5つのバッグのうち4つは「人民の女のため」と刻まれている。E.O.のゲームについてはBMSat5928, &c.を参照。ブルックスにあるフォックスのファローバンクについてはBMSat5972を参照。北と北の中間の地面には円形の箱に「の肺」と刻まれた丸いがあり、大きなには「変容の刻印」と刻まれている。1784年頃[ミス・バンクス]はプレートの下に「1786年前後」と書いた。
