In the upper right, beneath the French flag, French troops and Indians attack English settlers and burn their homes as signs of general social and political corruption are illustrated in the foreground; each scene is numbered and explained in the key below the image. In the center a tower covered by a cloud, obscuring all but a crown, orb and scepter. Two counselors with goose heads standing gossiping, and two bishops play backgammon and drink spirits (wine?), one sits on a chair made from a bible and the other sits on am overturned model of a church. Two noblemen rob a countryman as he sleeps in his chair. Two senators count their bribes, one hiding the money in his 'pension'. The decline in manufacturing (trade) is symbolized by the idle loom, covered with cobwebs and labeled "To be sold cheape". A thin, starving seaman begs while behind him two common folk stand idly with their hands in their pockets. In the upper left, soldiers in uniform lounge around their military encampment, beside rows of tents and cannons. In the distance, lines of ships stand idle at sea

A dilapidated room with Moll Hackabout's friends, mostly prostitutes, gathered around her open coffin, several of them weeping; one young woman stands with her back to the scene as she gazes at herself in the mirror. On the left, a clergyman spills his brandy as he surreptitiously gropes beneath a woman's skirt; Moll's serving woman, standing at the coffin with a wine bottle and glass in hand scowls at the pair. Under the window and to the right, the undertaker flirts with a pretty young prostitute who picks a handkerchief from his pocket. In the foreground Moll's small son plays with a spinning top. Sprigs of yew (rosemary?) decorate her coffin; a plate of yew rests on the floor at the parson's feet, another spring at her son's feet

"A young lady at confession; on the right, a monk leans on his elbow, right hand resting on a Bible, lecherously looking sideways at a young girl beside him, who stands holding a rosary, looking down sorrowfully with tears running down her cheek, she wears a veil on her head. On the ledge are various symbols of mortality, and a paper, lettered "...From fornication and all other deadly Sins Libera nos Domine! 'Tis better to Marry than burn...", to the far left stands an altar; after Millar; scratched-letter state."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state

Abstract:
Tom and a wealthy old woman are being married in the dilapidated church of St. Marylebone. The bride has only one eye and growths on her forehead; the IHS on the wall behind her serve as a mock halo. In contrast the old woman is attended by a beautiful young woman who has already caught Tom's eye. In the background on the left, the elderly pew opener pushes Sarah Young, carrying Tom's child in her arms, and Sarah's mother; she shakes her keys in their faces to prevent them from entering the church to stop the marriage. Two dogs in the lower left of the image mirror the courtship of Tom and his bride; the courted dog has only one eye. The clergyman is assisted at the altar by a clerk, and a charity-boy kneels at the bride's feet offering a hassock. The Poor Box on the left is covered with a cobweb; there is a large crack down the center of the slab with the numbered commandments on the wall behind the clergyman
