Print shows Fox in bed confronted by the ghost of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and the headless bodies of Quigley [i.e. Coigley], Sheares, Harvey, and Grogan. Lord Edward is saying: "Who first sedue'd my youthful Mind from Virtue? - Who plann'd my Treasons, & who caus'd my Death? - Remember poor Lord Edward, and despair!!!", while Fox replies: "Why do'st thou shake thy, Goary Locks at me? Dear, bravest, worthiest, noblest, best of Men! Thou can'st not say, I did it!" Above Fox's head fly two naked creatures with webbed wings and serpents springing from their heads and writhing round their bodies. They hold up between them a paper inscribed: Confessions of O'Conner Ol Bond.
