Pitt (three quarter length) stands drawing aside a curtain to show Fox (right) seated at a table; he says "Ecce Monstrum!"  Fox dines off portions of a document, saying: "Oh!   These D------n'd Words! They are worse to Swallow and Digest than a Bologna Sausage [cf. BMSat 7381] : and as the English are very Squeamish. I am afraid they will choak my Popularity". He holds a knife and fork; on the fork he holds up the first part of the document: "I say the Prince of Wales [the rest lies on the table] has a Right to assume the Government Without the Consent of either Parliament or People &amp;c." Pitt holds out a corresponding document : "I say, the Prince of Wales has no more right to assume the Government without the Consent of the Parliament who represent the People, than any other Person &amp;c." January 1789
