Print shows the Princess of Wales embracing the Prince of Wales, who has the body, horns, and beard of a fat goat. In the middle distance are two rocky pinnacles; on one, three men dance hand in hand: Loughborough in back view wearing his Chancellor's wig and gown, the Duke of York wearing a cocked hat and his star, and Lord Cholmondeley. From the other, Lady Jersey (with the arms and legs of a goat) staggers backwards, she has horns, and three feathers fall from her head. Lord Jersey, with the body of a goat and long horns, is about to fall. They are being hurled from the rock by thunderbolts inscribed with the words 'What? - What? - What?' (the King's well-known phrase) which issue from heavy clouds. Behind them is the sea with a small island flying a flag inscribed 'Jersey'
