- Abstract
-
"Mrs. Clarke (right), seated on a settee, addresses a fat parson in an arm-chair who registers excitement, with leg and arms raised, and wig flying from his head. Between them is a table; by Mrs. Clarke are papers headed: Army Preferment and Church Preferment. The parson, turning up his eyes, says: O-how I should like to preach before Royalty. She says, with extended palm, Only pay the Clarkes Fees, and the business is done. Between them hangs a placard: So great on the Church were O'Meara's designs, That he prov'd too ambitious a spark, But where is the wonder ye learned Divines, That the Parson should follow the Clarke."--British Museum online catalogue
