Shipley, Dean of St. Asaph, is drawn (right to left) in a small four-wheeled chaise by six goats with bells (indicating folly) on their horns. He sits complacently, displaying the leg on which is a shackle with a short length of chain. The goats are prancing, the near leader stands on his hind legs. Behind the chaise (right) is a large pillar surmounted by a ball inscribed 'Mansfield' and, below, 'Seditious perhaps Treasonable'. In front is a small open pillory. In the foreground (left) is 'Mother Cambria', wearing a fool's cap and bells; she stands in profile to the 1. holding a baton on which is a small head of the dean; one foot rests on a crown, with the other she is kicking a cap of 'Liberty', which is in the air, reversed. By it are the words: 'Liperty is her foot-pall now'; by the crown: 'Tamm Kingss &amp; Crouns'. A winged demon applies a pair of bellows to her ear. The chaise is crossing a barren plain with mountains in the distance. In the upper left corner of the design four men in clerical dress stand round a bonfire which is beside a church; two wave their hats, one holding up a laurel wreath, while a figure is suspended head-downwards above the flames. This scene is inscribed 'Spiritual pastimes'. Across the print is engraved:
<p><br><br>'I've escap'd with my Ears &amp; from Newgate you find;
<br>And as to my honour, that's left far behind;
<br>Which all the World knows, but Welch Goats, whom I blind.'  23, 24 December 1784
