A night-watchman pushes a countryman towards a door leading to 'the black hole', another stands by with lantern and bludgeon, a third looks on, laughing, while a dim parasite holds the door open. The constable of the night (see No. 14326, &c), fat and jovial, sits in a hooded chair behind a table on which are candle, frothing tankard, book, ink-pot, &c. Looby relates, in eight eight-line verses, how he is cheated and ill-used: 'And All for Life in London --' (see No. 14320, &c). Verse 6 begins: Says I--I've Toms and Jerry's seen Throughout this famous city But Lord they make themselves such apes I think it bees a pity ... The music of the air is engraved below the verses. 22 March 1822. Hand-coloured aquatint and etching, heading to letterpress ballad."--British Museum online catalogue
