| Description | William Pitt and St Patrick sitting on bulls who have locked horns in combat. On the left, Pitt, wearing armour and a plumed helmet, says:
"Never fear St Patrick, all will be yet very well they are a little restive at first but they will take to it kindly enough, bye and bye - I'll warrant you."
St Patrick, with a mitre and crozier, looks anxiously at the bulls and replies:
"Pon my conscience I don't know what you call it but the duece [sic] of anything like an Union do I see except their horns being fastened together."
