- Abstract:
- "An imitation of British Museum Satires No. 8913, by Woodward. A fat parson sits drinking beside a small round table. His face is fiery and carbuncled. He wears gown and bands, with unbuttoned waistcoast, and ungartered stocking; his wig is back to front. Opposite him, on a round stool sits Care, a naked man, grotesque, aged, emaciated, with a scraggy beard and long grey hair, and talons on hands and feet; he registers gloomy terror. The parson, with a contemptuous smile, snaps his fingers at Care. On the table are decanter, pipe, tobacco-box, and lemon. On the wall (left) is a 'List of the Tythes for the Parish of Guttledown'. A patterned carpet completes the design. An illustration of the song (illustrated also by R. Cruikshank in 'The Universal Songster', ii, 1826, page 129)."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A lean and grotesquely ugly old parson, wearing cap and gown, sits in his college room with a pretty young woman on his knee. She puts an arm round his neck and warms a foot at a blazing fire, on which stands a large coffee-pot. Her (large) straw bonnet and gloves are on the ground. Through a high Gothic window (right) two other Fellows look in, much amused. Behind him and against his chair is a table covered with punch-bowl, lemons, a decanter, bottles of 'Gin', 'Rum', and 'Coniac', and a jar of 'Preserved Ginger', &c. On the floor beside it is a huge volume: 'Doomsday Book', with other books, one being 'Arratin' [Aretino], another (open) 'A Master of Arts / a Fellow Feeling for the human Race'. With these are spectacles, cork-screw, long pipe, tobacco-jar. On the high chimney-piece are a nymph disrobing, candlestick, medicine-bottles, jug, and a framed 'Oxford almanack'. Beside it hang a violin and bow. On the wall hang a chess-board and a bag, as in British Museum Satires No. 12161, with a notice: 'Term begins -- Term ends -- Long Vacation'. British Museum Satires No. 10811 by Rowlandson has the same title (from Mackenzie's novel)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
