An illustrated and engraved song: Caleb Quotem, the Parish Clerk, stands as if addressing the audience; he wears neat, old-fashioned dress, with flowered waistcoat. The scene is a village schoolroom, a day school. A little boy sits on a stool; a little boy and girl sit together on a form. The room is bare, with a table and a high shelf on which is a saucepan. A church can be seen through a window

"The undergraduate, cap in hand, stands with bent head facing a table at the opposite end of which stands the Master, obese, drink-blotched, and angry, delivering sentence. Six Fellows stand at the table, three a side, all glaring at the culprit, and much caricatured. A gaiter lies on the table. At the door, and immediately behind the undergraduate, stands a college servant, his hand on the door-handle, holding a long wand (like that held by the butler of Trinity College, Cambridge, in BMSat 7017). The room is bare with a panelled wall, the only furniture the table and a carved armchair behind the Master."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to printed verses: 'A Burlesque Ballad* - Tune "Billy Taylor was a brisk young Fellow". A man and woman in bed in an attic. A figure, draped in a sheet, stands at the foot of the bed, holding up a lantern. The man reaches for his wooden leg which is by the bed. The verses relate that the cobbler courted Nancy Viggins 'All for the lucre of her gold', then threw her into a river. She was saved by a sailor, and attempted to frighten the cobbler by appearing to him as her own ghost: 'Dick swore he heeded not sprites nor ghostesses, "I'll cure ye, madam, of them there airs;" Then seized his vooden leg vith wengeance, And sent her headlong down the stairs.'"--British Museum online catalogue
