Time (left), an old man with wings, wearing a loin-cloth, turns a handle which turns a mill, resembling a modern coffee-mill. In the cone-shaped receptacle or hopper the heads of ministers appear: Dunning, cr. Lord Ashburton 30 Mar., (left) in profile to the right says, "We came in for Solomons, but I fear we shall turn out Simpletons". The other heads (left to right) are Burke, wearing spectacles, Lord Shelburne, Keppel, and the Duke of Richmond [Miss Banks has written 'Col. Barré', but the resemblance to Richmond is unmistakeable] who is in profile to the left, facing Dunning. Facing these are two heads in back view, and a boy's head turned in profile to the left, evidently Pitt, who became Chancellor of the Exchequer on 10 July. From a spout below the cone a goose, Charles Fox (right) is emerging, its legs and tail still in the machine. It says, "I went in reputed a wise Fox, but Time now proves me a silly cackling goose." 14 August 1782
