"A yokel in a smock laughs, clasping his side, with two others, who listen with sly grins. He has a pitchfork the others spade and rake. Behind is a cottage among trees; in the background a church spire. Below the design: 'Ods Dickins - I ha Play'd our New Parson such afunney trick, You must know he came to our house last Night in the midst of the Storm - so what does I do but persuades he to sleep with Wife & I - so I slips out of Bed this morning & leaves em both fast a sleep - Now thinks I as I shuts the door softly - how Foolish he will look when he finds himself alone in Bed with my Wife - an't that a good Joke now, ha, ha, ha.'."--British Museum online catalogue
