Sam House (right) lies dead, dressed in a shroud and extended on a butt of beer. At his head (left) kneels Fox, tears streaming down his face, holding out a handkerchief in his left hand. The scene is a cellar with low windows and a raftered ceiling.  Beneath the title is etched:
<p><br><br>'See poor Sam House extended on his Bier! 
<br>Here end his Ail's while Charley brews a tear - .'  6 May 1785
