Abstract:
"A cobbler, broadly grinning, holds up a long thread and recounts a long tongue-twister beginning, 'When a twister a twisting, will twist him a twist', to the diversion of two sailors, who remark, 'Scuttle my hammock, Jib, if this here fellow does not beat our parson.', 'I think so messmate and the surgeon into the bargain.'; a sign above the cobbler's shop reads, 'Men and womens soles translated, their understand-ings mended - uprights rectified - and quarters restiched. by J Cook - Knt. of St. Crispin, and secular twister to the parish of Sheeperton'; a gloomy parson looks out from a cottage window opposite, underneath a sign reading, 'Abraham Amen parish clerk and sexton', the notice in the house next door reads, 'Iohn Heavan. Apothecary and undertaker'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to a broadside printed in two columns. A scene in the grounds of Brandenburgh House (see British Museum Satires No. 13852). Bergami (see British Museum Satires No. 13731), dressed as a courier, capers, flourishing a whip with a long heavy lash. He points complacently to the house, where a tiny figure, the Queen, extends welcoming arms. He has thick curly hair and moustache, and from his neck hangs a miniature portrait (of the Queen). Alderman Wood, as an old woman, dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 13736, advances towards him, holding out his furred alderman's gown. On the right is the river, with a large house on the opposite bank. The verses (87 ll.) grossly attack the Queen; they end: Let that Wooden Sluggist, that old Brewer's Druggist, Return to his business once more, Sir; In a Politic School, be no longer a fool, And an advocate for an old W-, Sir: For I swear by the Gods, the King has the odds In his favour, for the loyal are many, And the Q- will at length, have to trust in the strength, Of her great Mighty Courier B-."--British Museum online catalogue
