"A dandy grasping a slim umbrella walks, left to right, on tiptoe, looking down. In the roadway behind him a small stage-coach with two horses drives right to left. An outside passenger wearing a cape raises his hand to salute the pedestrian. Behind is a wall topped with trees, with many bills. Below the title: "The second--is the Cut Infernal--This consists in Casting "Your Eyes suddenly down towards the gloomy abode "of the inexorable Pluto, (In this case you must suppose "Cuttee to be above you, a Cockney in a goneby Tilbury "or a respectable Man outside the Clapham Coach) "--rating the Commissioners soundly In the irregularity of "the pebbles:--Horridly they do pave London now--/ "the same puddle was here last week -- I declare! "--By this time Cuttee has passed, the Clapham Coach gone by --And you acclaim with Macbeth You are a Man again!""--British Museum online catalogue
