"Eight scenes arranged in two rows. An elderly man riding Pegasus pursues Fame, who beckons to him; he despairs of overtaking her, even "if my Pegasus was as fleet as the wind". Two cronies concur in "hunting the bottle". An old military officer pursues a pretty young woman. Two bailiff's men with bludgeons pursue a debtor. A solitary man has been fruitlessly "hunting after money the whole day". A young and handsome fortune-hunter kneels to an elderly harridan. A hunter after company invites himself to crack a bottle with another man. A fat parson, eyes closed, at a table with punch-bowl, glasses, &c, the second chair being empty, says: "My worthy friend the Vicar and myself have just killed old care and I am very happy Doctor, to welcome you in at the death". Perhaps belongs to a set, see BMSat 8541, &c. c.1800"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Bishop of Durham strides across the footlights on to the stage, his left foot on the shoulder of one of the orchestra below. He wears a mitre and holds his crosier in both hands, as if to attack four danseuses holding garlands of roses who pirouette derisively. He says: "Avaunt the Satan, I fear the not assume whatever shape or form thou wilt I am determined to lay the thou black Fiend." The heads of some of the orchestra appear behind his left leg. A profile head on the extreme left says "Thats right down with them". Against the wall (left) are a carved satyr and a playbill: 'The Divil of a Lover - Hes much tlame' [to blame] and 'Peeping Tom' (by O'Keefe, 1784). The first was a musical farce played once only on 17 Mar. 1798, the second was first played on 13 Feb. 1798. Genest, vii. 360, 361."--British Museum online catalogue
