180614774SUMMARY: Charles Fox, in bed with his wife, having a nightmare. To the right, Napoleon jumps to the bed from a cannon with the words "Pour subjugeur le Monde" inscribed on the muzzle; behind him are seen pikes and a banner with the words "Horrors of Invasion." William Pitt, as a shade, floats near the bed, admonishing Fox, "Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen". An eagle with the collar labeled "Prussia" looms over Fox's head. From under the bed grow thorny rose branches and Death crawls out from under the covers, holding an hourglass whose sand has nearly run out, and entwined with a scroll inscribed "Intemperance, Dropsy, Dissolution". A bulldog with its collar inscribed "John Bull" lunges at Napoleon. On the floor to the right side of the bed are tokens of Fox's problems: "India Roses", "Emancipation Roses", "French Roses", and "Volunteer Roses". At the bottom of the bed is "A List of the Broad-Bottom Administration": Citizen Volpone, Lord Bogy (Lord Grenville, nicknamed Bogy Grenville), Bett Armstead (Mrs. Fox), Doctor Clysterpipe (Lord Sidmouth), Miss Petty (Lord Henry Petty).
