Summary
Print shows Lady Jersey's bedroom, with Lady Jersey as an old hag in bed and the Prince of Wales at the foot of the bed riding astride Lord Jersey. The Prince holds up two fingers, saying "Buck! Buck! - how many Horns do I hold up?" while Lord Jersey responds, "E'en as many as you please!". On the wall behind them is a picture of Cupid piping to an old sow who dances on her hind-legs.
