Hadfield stands up in the pit and fires a pistol point-blank at the King, who turns reassuringly to a group of alarmed Princesses (left), while the Queen enters the box (right).  He is seized by three men, one being Sheridan (right).  On the extreme right is a corner of the orchestra, with three musicians, their music, 'God Save the King'.  On the curtain which drapes the royal box and frames the design: 
<p><br><br>'From every latent foe 
<br>From the Assassins blow 
<br>God Save the King 
<br>Ov'r him thine Arms extend 
<br>For Britains sake defend, 
<br>Our Father Prince &amp; Friend, [&amp;c.].'   c.May 1800
