介绍（中）	夏洛特女王、乔治王子、威尔士亲王和乔治三世国王贪婪地从一个标有"约翰公牛的血"的碗里把几尼舀到嘴里。这些钱掉进了挂在他们脖子上的袋子里——这是标题中可怕的峭壁，这个词通常用于形容鸟类。吉尔雷用贪食的形象来批评1787年英国王室对公共财政的过高要求。更严重的罪犯是坐在中间的王子。议会最近批准他16.1万英镑（今天约1300万美元）来偿还债务，并将他的年收入提高到6万英镑。由于王子的育儿袋仍然是空的，Gillray认为这种慷慨是不够的。另一方面，国王和王后的生活安排是出了名的吝啬，他们被批评贪婪地把他们实际上并不需要的硬币舀到膨胀得离谱的峭壁上。
介绍（英）	Queen Charlotte, George, Prince of Wales, and King George III ravenously ladle guineas into their mouths from a bowl marked "John Bull’s Blood." The money falls into bags attached to their necks – the monstrous craws of the title, a term normally applied to the crops of birds. Gillray used the imagery of gluttony to criticize the exorbitant demands on the public purse being made in 1787 by the British royal family. The worse offender was the prince, who sits at center. Parliament recently had granted him £161,000 (about thirteen million dollars today) to pay off debts, and raised his annual income to £60,000. Since the prince’s pouch remains empty, Gillray suggests this largesse will be insufficient. The king and queen, on the other hand, who were notoriously miserly in their living arrangements, are criticized for greedily ladling up coins that they do not actually need into grotesquely distended craws.
