Un Monstre à trois têtes désignant les trois Etats de l'aristocratie s'occupe à devorer le reste du cadavre du peuple qu'il à englouti impitoyablement dans ses entrailles carnivores : il est précédé du fanatisme aux queus de dragon et qui est vêtu d'un froc monacal, il porte à califourchon sur son dos l'hypocrisie pressante, un serpent qui distile son poison aristocratique : [estampe]
