- Abstract
-
"The Duke of York and Mrs. Clarke in bed; his arm is round her neck, and he gazes at her, saying, "Ask any thing in reason and you shall have it my dearest dearest dearest Love". She answers: "Only remember the promotions I mentioned I have pinn'd up the list at the head of the Bed". Above their heads: 'List for Promotion-a Bishoprick for Dr O Leary, a Commissariat for Dicky Dowlas-A Generalship-Cl Clackwrng-A Majority-[?] 2d Lieutenant for my Foute Boy' [see British Museum Satires No. 11223]. At the foot of the bed are two chairs, one (left) a commode, on which is a large mitre, with a crosier behind it, on the other (right) are the Duke's breeches."--British Museum online catalogue.
