In the top scene, three men in a variety of dress stand arm in arm with a woman wearing a feather in her hat.

Under the arm of one of the men who attempt to escape is a paper inscribed 'usef(ul) knowledge'. The scene is subtitled 'Oblivion' bottom right. The bottom scene depicts a gentleman with his leg raised mid-dance, a woman with her hands on her hips and a man in army uniform and sword. They all sing as they dance.
