Abstract:
"A scene on the poop of a man-of-war. A lean and shambling civilian, his hat tied on by a spotted handkerchief, clutches the coat-tail of a sailor to say: "My dear Friend - I understand you are Captain of this here ship - and they says a how the Enemy, is in sight - now could not you put the ship a little on one side, and not be too ventersome - its the best way to be a little cautious - I am but a poor weaver - but however life is sweet." The sailor (right) (dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 10894) holds a cudgel, has a quid of tobacco in his cheek, and points with his left hand to the right. He glares fiercely at the weaver, saying, "Why you paltry land Lubber do you want me to run away? - but however I never bear malice so I'll give you a little Comfort - before I would strike to an Enemy d'ye see - I would blow the vessel up in the air - So before you could turn a chaw of tobacco you would be out of your misery." Behind (left) two sailors man a gun. On the deck (right) is a pile of cannon-balls."--British Museum online catalogue

In the background one lady is being thrown from her donkey, another is galloping. In the verses a she-ass relates to a mere beast of burden the delights of frolicking by the sea: 'Fashion here tells young lasses to ride On the best walk that ever was seen'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A duel between a goose (l.) with the head of Burdett (as in BMSat 10708, &c.) and Paull dressed as a tailor, except for his top-boots; both fire their pistols, each hitting the other on the leg. Beside each lies a second pistol. Burdett fires with his left hand which emerges from the tip of his wing. Paull staggers backwards, gesticulating; his bonnet rouge flies off. He wears an enormous pair of scissors suspended from the waist; a tape-measure is round his neck, and a yard-stick on the ground. Long labels issue from the mouths of the duellists: "What must I be out! - & a Taylor get In, to Parliament! - You're a Liar! - I never said, that I would sit as Chairman on your Shop-board!!!" Paull retorts: "a Liar! - Sir, I'm a Taylor & a Gentleman! - and I must have Satisfaction! - " Burdett's second is a plump man, with a bunch of pistols under each arm; he watches composedly. That of Paull, with a pair of pistols under each arm, watches with gaping mouth and flexed knees, registering alarm. A third man watches from the fork of an oak tree; he seems to be the driver of the coach which stands on the extreme right. with four wretched horses. Between the duellists lie two papers: 'Sir Frans Goose's Letter to the Electors at the Crown & Anchor' and 'Mr Pauls Advertisements'. In the foreground near Paull lies a (green) bag disgorging a bundle of papers inscribed 'Westminster Election Paul'; beside it are a cabbage and cucumbers, with two papers: 'Dangers of indulging Political Envy by Sir F . . . Goose' and 'Cobbetts Character of Paul the Taylor May 2d 1807'. In the background are trees with a signpost pointing (l.) 'To Wimbleton'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two pilgrims meet, one (left) debonair and jaunty, the other in a crouching position, and with an anguished expression. Both wear hats turned up with cockle shells, and necklaces hung with shells, long belted gowns with rosaries. Each holds a staff surmounted by a cross. The verses, by 'Peter Pindar' (Wolcot) (abridged), relate the pilgrimage of 'a brace of Sinners' to the shrine at 'Loretta', fifty miles, with peas in their shoes, by order of their priest. The returning pilgrim explains his rapid progress:'"To walk a little more at ease,"I took the liberty to boil my peas'."--British Museum online catalogue
