On the left a comely wife and two boys watch him with astonishment. They sit by a table on which are wine and fruit. She says: "Why my Dear-you are quite frantic, what is the matter with you". He answers: "Frantic-I believe I am,-I have been preaching before Royalty, our Fortunes are made,-such a Sermon-neat text-quarter of an hours discourse-appropriate prayer at the conclusion,-O, to see them cry, it would have melted an heart of Stone,-Oh bless that Mrs Clarke I shall never forget her"."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Watermark: E & P.Mounted on leaf 43 of volume 10 of 14 volumes.
