Printed below image and quotation: REMIGRATION. / Still pursued, when a 'wanderer.' / her child sleeps in death, / And her best friend, in England, her king, / yields his breath; / This gives her new rights-- / they neglect and proscribe her; / She threatens returning-- they then try to bribe her! / The bullies turn slaves, and, in meanness, fawn on her; / They feel her contempt, and they vow her dishonour; / But she 'steers her own course,' comes indignantly / over, /And shouts of the nation salute her at Dover!

Queen Caroline steers a small boat, rowed by a sailor, through huge waves towards the cliffs of Dover. A whale with the head of George IV swims towards her spouting great columns of water at the boat, while four smaller creatures swim menacingly towards it, with the heads of Sidmouth (left), Liverpool, with a spiked profile like a narwhal, Castlereagh, and Eldon.
