Español: Hudibras sorprende a Sidrofel y Whacum

Una cámara de piedra llena de objetos muestra un cocodrilo disecado y peces colgados, un esqueleto y un globo terráqueo. Tres hombres con sombreros de ala ancha se reúnen ante una mesa con papeles; uno sentado aferra la empuñadura de una espada, en un aguatinta sepia.
