Here is the second "Wellington and Peel Burke the Constitution" print we've found. This time, the Constitution is that bewigged gentleman, John Bull, who at least gets to lie in a proper bed rather than on a heap of straw.
The caption reads: Burkeing the Constitution of E_g__d!!!!!
We may note that seems to have been some little uncertainty about how to form the gerund of the verb whose infinitive is To Burke: to lose the final "e", as we do for the verb "to impale" (impaling), or to keep it. We may also wonder why we needed the dashes for E_g__d -- would England press charges if its name was spelled out? -- and why 5 exclamation points were considered enough -- why not 55? or 555?
Robert Peel (as William Hare) says "Do make haste. I'm sure I heard a noise." Wellington (as William Burke) responds, "Don't be alarmed friend Hare its only the Doctors coming for the body, you are a young hand at it, and have not seen such black deeds as I have, the old man will die easy for he has been long ailing."
Outside the door, the devil says "I think my old friend we've got them all now." His "friend," a Catholic prelate, responds "yes yes fast enough only make sure of John Bull and all is right."
