"Scene outside the closed iron gate of Covent Garden Theatre. A smartly dressed man swaggers tipsily and jovially along, both arms raised; clutching his arm is a dejected companion in a drunken torpor, fashionably dressed, and wearing a blue cloak lined with red over his evening suit. In the foreground (right) a well-dressed man reclines against a step, drunk and jovial, a battered top-hat on the pavement beside him. An old watchman stoops to lift him up. Behind them a fourth toper is jovially attempting to fight a watchman holding lantern and rattle, while a brother-watchman raises his staff. On the left a fat John Bullish fellow tries to waltz with a pretty little courtesan, while a second girl picks his pocket and holds up in triumph a watch and seals. Both are smartly dressed, wearing big feathered hats. Behind them an old bawd walks along taking by the arm a seedy rake. On the wall are playbills both headed Theatre Royal Covent Garden, [1] Tomorrow Night The Blue Devils [1798] Love's Labour Lost [2] The Road to Ruin [1792, see BM Satires 8074] Fortune's Frolic [1799]."--British Musem online catalogue
