"From the first page of the second part of 'The Theatres', see British Museum Satires No. 5063, which is an attack on Colman and Covent Garden. Colman sits on the lap of Mother Shipton, in his right hand is a harlequin's sword, in his left, a paper inscribed "For wooden Sword I've chang'd my useless Pen I ne'er could Write & Hate all writing Men". A ribbon sash with long ends is round his waist from which hangs a child's coral and bells. At his feet lies a bundle of pens. He looks towards Harlequin (left) who is trampling on three books inscribed "Shak ...", "Johns ..." [Jonson], and "Shake..." "Mother Shipton", in conical hat and ruff, has a walking-stick in her left hand, her right. is over Colman's shoulder; she says: "Oh my Coly my Coly oh my Coly my Deary". Across the engraving is printed, "Bad has begun and worse remains behind". On the back is part of the poem: "See curious Colman negligent of merit, Of Tragic energy and comic spirit Palm on his servile partners, and the town, Abject and vile dependents of his own"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A freely drawn sketch of three figures. A Jew in profile to the right holds a glass show-box which is supported by a strap round his shoulders. Facing him in profile to the left is a man with a large pack tied to his back, he is looking at the Jew's wares, one hand held up as in surprise. Between them, and full-face, stands a Dutchman (?) wearing trousers and smoking a pipe; he is looking at the Jew's show-case. [In 1765 Cole compared the Paris shop-windows to the show-cases carried about by Jews. 'Cole's Paris Journal', 1931, p. 50.] Above the heads of the figures a devil is flying, he holds two strings, one of which is attached to the neck of each pedlar."--British Museum online catalogue
