Fox and Burke face each other, seated on chairs in close proximity, Burke (right) pugnacious, Fox (left) lacrimonious; a winged Devil crouches behind Burke's chair, saying to him, "Brother Brother we are both in the wrong". A paper inscribed 'Revolution' protrudes from Burke's pocket; he says: "I thought you had a better taste in Architecture I say it is a Building of untemperd mortar built by Goths &amp; vandals - where everything is out of place &amp; Inverted - See what my Book says on the Subject."  Fox, leaning forward and holding a handkerchief to his eyes, says, "After working so many years together in the same Shop - it forces Tears from me to think we should quarrel abt a paltry Building - though I must own in my opinion it is a Stupendous Fabric of Human - Wisdom!!" (Cf. BMSat 8150.) In the foreground on the extreme left sits Pitt on a low stool, with his back to the disputants; he is very youthful-looking: above his head are the words: 
<p><br><br>'Little Bill Horner 
<br>Sat in a Corner 
<br>And eat his Christmas Pie!!' 
<br><br>He holds a piece of food to his mouth; in his left hand is a document: 'Ways and Means', and from his coat pocket two papers protrude inscribed 'Budget' and 'Taxes'. In the background on the right, as if below the level of the foreground, is a freely sketched rendering of the floor of the House of Commons: the Speaker in his chair dominates a sea of heads with members rising to speak. Over this is inscribed the lines quoted by Burke: 
<br><br>'Black Spirits &amp; White 
<br>Blue Spirits &amp; Grey 
<br>Mingle Mingle 
<br>Hubble Bubble 
<br>Toil &amp; Trouble &amp;c' [see BMSat 7854, &amp;c.].   11 May 1791
