Abstract:
The Duke of Cumberland rides a horse towards the left; in the distance are buildings which are labelled 'Eton College'. From his mouth come the words, "My all is in my possession, possession, possession. My all is in my posession. Mounted behind him on the horse is a pretty, young woman playing a hurdy-gurdy. From her mouth, the words, "Virgins are like [the] fair flowers in its lustre." A large belt labelled "The girdle of affection" encircles the two riders waists. A distressed young peasant, the girl's brother, chases the horse, crying, "My dear sister. Stop 'e. Stop 'e. Stop 'e. O, I fear she's gone for aye."
