Fox stands (left) with a melancholy expression, taking from Mother Shipton a long wand which she puts into his hand.   She leans towards him, supported on a stick held in her left hand, and says: 
<p><br><br>"Long have I view'd thy troubled Soul 
<br>Fear not for thou shal't yet controul
<br>And be Great Britains chief------
<br>England will sink without thy aid 
<br>Take this good Wand be not afraid 
<br>And guard its pudding &amp; its beef "
<br><br>Behind her (right) is a temple, 'Sacred to Liberty'; Britannia reclines on its domed roof, holding the staff and cap of Liberty. c.1784
