Abstract:
"A magistrate, identified as 'the Hon. Sir Thomas McKenny', Mayor of Dublin, sits at a table on a small dais, giving instructions to constables. On the wall behind is a crowned Irish harp. Beside him sits a clerk, pen in hand. Two ladies watch the proceedings, seated by the table. The two constables have large bludgeons; their clothes are patched and ragged, but they have a sanctimonious air. One says: "Plaise your Worship it's a scandalous shame that honest Women can't take a bit of a walk near the Royal Canal but they must shut their eyes! as the place is full of Naked blackguards; cooling themselves this hot weather." The other adds: "Upon my Soul your Honor it's all true they are standing all about the place your worship!" One woman, whose breasts are immodestly exposed, says: "What a Shame!!" The other: "What they say is very true I've seen it myself, it's a great shame." The Mayor rests one gouty foot on a stool; before him is an open book, 'Burns Justice'; its right page is inscribed: '20 pence is 1s.8d--6 & 4 is 10'. He answers with a startled expression: "Cooling themselves by J--!! in the Royal Canal too!!! the Devil burn 'em!!--I'll cool the Vagabonds-- Paddy O' Shaughnessy. I give you & Old O' Calahan the thanks of the Corporation for your Modesty, go to the canal tomorrow & take away all their cloaths, I'll teach the rascals Decency!" The clerk says: "By the Powers! we'll commit them." Two men, barelegged and ragged, look in at the door (left). One says: "Sure we are only diverting ourselves your Worship becase we have no dinner"; the other: "Faith & sure & the'll never lave us to go home Naked!" A dandy stands against the wall looking with quizzical amusement at the Mayor."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A sequel to British Museum Satires No. 13397. The Mayor and clerk sit as before. The two constables have brought in three naked bathers, who modestly try to screen their persons with hat, handkerchief, and a basket inscribed 'Sprats from the Royal Canal'. The two women peep in at the door, scandalized; their place near the table is taken by a woman in a red cloak who says: "Blood & Ouns your Worship give poor pat his breeches!!!!" One constable, with coat and breeches over his arm, points to his victims: "Here your Worship, I have brought three of those rebelious Naked Vagabonds before your Lordship to be treated your honor according to Law." The other, also holding ragged garments, stands smugly silent. The men say: [1] "Please your worshipful Lordship tell the Constable to give me my Cloathes--sure & little enough I have of them"; [2] "O! your honor! for the decency of Ireland don't let the Constable sell my poor rags!!!" [3] "By my soul I think is Lordship is going to turn us all into Hottentots." The Mayor, extending a clenched fist, shouts: "You rascals! how dare you presume to cool your selves in the Royal Canal--? No one in this Country must meddle with Royalty--I think I have prevented further indecency on your Parts--give them their cloathes Constable." His left hand rests on a paper: 'Plan for Reforming the City of Dublin'. The two women at the door say: "La what a sight!!!!!!" and "I think it is a greater shame than it was before--I'm quite shock'd to see it." The dandy (? Archer) looks mockingly towards the Mayor, saying, "Well! I think an Archer Bull is not to be found in Joe Miller"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A man sits behind a cloth-covered table, a prey to demons and to little figures enacting scenes that madden, urging to suicide and divorce. He clutches his head, his elbow resting on a book, Werter [cf. BM Satires 7765]; his right fist is on a letter signed your sincere Friend -- Anonymous. One tiny demon whispers in his ear, another runs up his arm holding a pair of spectacles; both have reindeer-antlers. At his right hand a pistol, with arms, legs, and face, bows invitingly. At his left hand a fat pugnacious barrister proffers a paper: Damages 1000; another, simian, and with barbed tail, clambers up the table-cloth towards him. A demon lies flat on the table, holding the rope by which a little man hangs himself, having just kicked away a stool. Under a chair (left) an officer in dandified uniform embraces a woman; the same woman, wearing a hat, clambers down a rope-ladder from the back of a chair (right) towards her lover who stands below extending his arms; a little watchman in the shadow of the table, holding his lantern, watches them with a cynical grin. On the chimneypiece is a duel scene: the officer fires a pistol killing his opponent, the jealous man. Pictures on the wall: Horn Fair, a fair scene, horns and antlers displayed on poles; Othello smothering Desdemona. This hangs above an oval miniature of a lady. Books (on the table) are The Revenge [E. Young, 1721]; (on the floor) Don Juan and The Cuckoo Song Book."--British Museum online catalogue
