"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

"The Prince of Wales lies on his bed, partly dressed, in a drunken stupor, head downwards, right arm hanging to the ground, where are broken bottles and spilt wine. The ghost of his great-uncle, William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721-65), immensely fat, and naked except for cocked hat and sabre, emerging from clouds, stands at the bed-side (right), holding up an hour-glass whose sands have nearly run out; in his right hand he raises the bed-curtains which frame the design. He warns the Prince of the effects of drink and corpulence. See BMSats 9383, 9384, 9385, where the warning is extended."--British Museum online catalogue
