Artist: James Gillray. Published: Hannah Humphrey. Pitt and Dundas (in tartan), back to back, vigorously ply long whips against a herd of swine with human faces whom they drive through broken palings from the enclosure in which they stand (right). On the extreme left is the corner of a pound through which poke the heads of two (normal) swine, ringed and shedding tears. The swine who are being flogged have, beside their human heads, ringed snouts, both heads being enclosed in a wooden triangle. The leaders are Fox, with Norfolk on his right and Bedford on his left The others are less prominent: Erskine, Tierney, looking over Fox's back, Burdett, Derby, and Nicholls (left), while M. A. Taylor (right), smaller than the others, scampers to right instead of left. Beside the pound (left) stands a grinning yokel (John Bull); on its post is a placard: 'London Corresponding Society - or the Cries of the Pigs in the Pound'. The background is a row of conical haystacks behind which is a thatched and gabled farm-house. Below the title verses (50 ll.) are etched in three columns:

'Once a Society of Swine, Liv'd in a Paradice of Straw, A herd more beautiful and fine I'm sure, Sir Joseph, never saw, . . . . . . A stack Yard very tempting stood, Near to the Place where our Pigs dwelt, And as the Grain within seem'd good, Each a desire to Taste it, felt! But, ah! 'twas fenced with Paling stout, To keep destructive Pigs without: One boar there was with Fat opprest [Fox], An overgrown enormous brute, Who long'd much more than all the rest To ransack this forbidden Fruit, . . . . . . "Citizen Pigs, it grieves me much "To see your want of spirit such, . . . . . . "Grub up for shame these Palings vile "And let us every Stack despoil! . . . . . . The Pigs who follow'd his advice Grub'd up the Pales, - when in a trice Their Noses Ring'd, - and Ears cut off they found Some lost their Tails; and some clap d up in Pound . . . . . . And Johnny Bull, a gaping grins, And cries, " - poor Pigs, you suffers for your Sins "Wounds how it makes a body Laugh, "To see that Folks wont know, when they're well off'.
