***** (Burke) on the sublime and beautiful. (BM 1868,0808.5427), A scene in the House of Commons. Burke stands on the shoulders of two seated members: his right foot is on the left shoulder of Powys, his left on the right shoulder of Sawbridge. His arms are crossed on his breast, his right arm clutching his left shoulder; from his mouth float three scrolls inscribed, 'Invective against ye Minister', 'Short Observations on India Affairs' [a long scroll], and 'Tropes on the Irish Trade Bill'. Powys looks up at him with an angry expression; he holds in his hand a thick bundle of papers inscribed 'Memda of Important Observations Obvious Objections Perpetual Motions Doubts Facts Surmises Queries &ca &ca'. Sawbridge looks gloomily away from Burke, his left leg stretched along the seat; he holds a paper inscribed 'Mock Motion for Reform in the Representation &c.' Three members seated behind Burke hide their heads or turn aside from his spate of words.  Beneath the title is etched:

'Sublimi feriam Sidera Vertice
Hor.' 6 April 1785

サブライムの美しさと美しさ。バークは、座っている2人の人物の肩の上に立っている。彼の右足はポウィスの左肩、彼の左足はソーブリッジの右肩にある。胸に腕を組んで右腕を左肩に掴み、口から「大臣への侵略」、「インド情勢の監視」、「アイルランド貿易法案の綱渡り」と刻まれた3巻の巻物を浮かべている。パウイスは怒りっぽい表情で彼を尊敬しており、手には「重要な観察の面ダ 常に動機が疑わしい 事実 概説 クエリとカ&カ」と書かれた厚い論文の束を持っている。ソーブリッジはバークから々と離れて、座席に沿って左足を伸ばして「表現の自由の模範」と書かれた紙を掲げている。バークの後ろに座っている3人の人物は、彼の言葉の吐き気から頭を隠すか、脇に寝返る。題名の由来は「スブリミ・フェリアム・シデラ・ヴァーティツェ・ホル」と記されている。
