Fox and Burke ride (right to left) a galloping horse beside a milestone inscribed 'I Mile to Perdition'. Between them sits Mrs. Siddons, whom Burke holds round the waist. Fox holds the reins and lashes the horse, turning round to say, "No Prolixity B------ke. Here's no procrastination". Burke says, "Now we'll show the Mahratta's something Sublime and beautiful". Mrs. Siddons, as Lady Macbeth, holds a dagger in her right hand, a bowl in the left, saying, "That which hath made them drunk, hath made me bold". Behind them, right, pointing to the right, is a signpost, 'To Popularity'.  7 February 1785
