Abstract

"Heading to engraved verses. A loutish would-be fashionable (left) stands, hat in hand, 'staring like a stuck pig', at a fashionably dressed young woman, who trips off gaily to the right, snapping her fingers at her admirer. She holds a small closed parasol. The last of twelve verses: 'With the use of my speech, I recovered my voice, Says I, "My dear lewel; pray take your own choice; For the future I'll serve, one my love will not slight, That's my King & my Country, with joy & delight. Derry down &c.'"--British Museum online catalogue
