"A sequence of three scenes, divided by vertical lines, each with title and inscription. [1] A Caution. A sailor, smartly dressed in top-hat, short blue jacket, and wide white trousers, stands at a church door, with a demurely dressed young woman on his arm. She holds up her forefinger: Now Mind Jack nobody must Speak but the Parson, Mum. He sardonically closes one eye, putting a finger to it. [2] Amen. The interior of the church, with the couple immediately under the desk of the Clerk who rises to intone Amen. The sailor rises, saying fiercely: Hold your Jaw you Lubber, hold your Jaw nobody must Palerver but the Parson. The dismayed girl clutches his pigtail. [3] The Psalm. The sailor is about to drag him from his desk. He says: My Eyes here's a Mutiney and your one of the Ringleaders So haul in your Jawing tacks & come along down--The girl shrieks. The congregation stand, singing loudly, including charity children in a gallery in front of the organ."--British Museum online catalogue
