- Depiction: Fox, in a strait-jacket, with straw disposed in his hair, is represented as mad beyond recovery. He is singing in forlorn despair, "that which grieves me most is the losing of my place." Doctor Munro, the King's physician, in his court-dress, is examining the patient through his eyeglass and attesting, "As I have not the least hope of his recovery, let him be removed amongst the Incurables".
