The Prince (left) stands looking down avidly at his bride, one hand on her shoulder. She looks up at him, in profile to the left. He wears a long frogged coat, breeches, and spurred jack-boots; in his pocket are two rolled prints inscribed 'Old Snuffy inqui . .' [see No. 12990] and 'Found it out' [see No. 12991]. She wears an ornate décolletée dress, strained over her plump contours, with feathers in her hair. He says: "Let Aldermen on turtles doat,
<p><br>And with their green fat gorge their throat;
<br>No turtle I shall wish to get,
<br>- but my lusty Bet."
<br>She answers:
<br>"- A glorious consummation!
<br>What joy to be humbugged by thee;
<br>While both humbug the nation!"
<br>c. April 1818
