- Abstract
-
"Two fat elderly parsons in cap and gown walking together along the side-aisle of a large Gothic church fall violently over a rope stretched across the aisle and held by two groups of undergraduates, also in cap and gown. With the group on the right is a buxom young woman, pulling the rope. Two undergraduates flourish long-lashed whips, one aims a squirt, another lets off a squib. The aisle is divided from the nave by an iron railing; on the ground is a stone or brass with a mitre and crosier inscribed 'Here Lies the Body of Bishop Blear eyes'."--British Museum online catalogue.
