- Abstract
-
"On the right is a bedroom, a man and woman embracing on a bed with a high tester draped with curtains. A man leaves the room by a door on the extreme right. On the left is a staircase, descending from left to right and ending in a door leading to the bedroom. On this stand, one behind the other, nine men. One is in military uniform, one is a bearded Jew, one is a fat parson in gown and bands. Labels inscribed with words issue from their mouths. Over the door is a picture, inscribed "Lucretia"; she is about to stab herself. Along the balustrade of the staircase is engraved, "'One lover to another still succeeds, Another & another after that. - And the last Fool is welcome as the former: Till having lov'd his hour out he gives place, And mingles with the herd that went before him.' Rowe's Fair Penitent"."--British Museum online catalogue.
