"A jovial countryman leans on a rustic railing nailed to a tree, to address a fat elderly parson on horseback (right). He asks "Ha! Ha - the knaust Doctor I be a rum fellow, - Canst thee tell me - why - a Parsons Horse be like a King?" The parson answers with a grin: "Why you rogue, because it is guided by a Minister." He is drink-blotched and prosperous-looking; in his pocket is a 'Sermon to beprea[ched] ...'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A Quaker stands by an open grave, with clasped hands, eyes sanctimoniously turned up. A grave-digger leans on his spade watching him with puzzled distaste. The Quaker: "Verily the spirit at length beginneth to move me - Alas! there is no happiness on this side of the grave." A disgruntled sailor (dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 10894, coat open to show a waistcoat) who stands opposite him asks: "Why then you Lubber, dont you come on this side?" A second Quaker stands behind the first, hands clasped, looking down; on the extreme left a woman in a Quaker's bonnet puts her handkerchief to her eyes. Behind the sailor and on the extreme right is another mourner, also puzzled and unsympathetic. The scene is a large walled graveyard; a skull lies by the open grave, grinning up at the Quaker."--British Museum online catalogue
