Abstract:
"A magistrate, identified as 'the Hon. Sir Thomas McKenny', Mayor of Dublin, sits at a table on a small dais, giving instructions to constables. On the wall behind is a crowned Irish harp. Beside him sits a clerk, pen in hand. Two ladies watch the proceedings, seated by the table. The two constables have large bludgeons; their clothes are patched and ragged, but they have a sanctimonious air. One says: "Plaise your Worship it's a scandalous shame that honest Women can't take a bit of a walk near the Royal Canal but they must shut their eyes! as the place is full of Naked blackguards; cooling themselves this hot weather." The other adds: "Upon my Soul your Honor it's all true they are standing all about the place your worship!" One woman, whose breasts are immodestly exposed, says: "What a Shame!!" The other: "What they say is very true I've seen it myself, it's a great shame." The Mayor rests one gouty foot on a stool; before him is an open book, 'Burns Justice'; its right page is inscribed: '20 pence is 1s.8d--6 & 4 is 10'. He answers with a startled expression: "Cooling themselves by J--!! in the Royal Canal too!!! the Devil burn 'em!!--I'll cool the Vagabonds-- Paddy O' Shaughnessy. I give you & Old O' Calahan the thanks of the Corporation for your Modesty, go to the canal tomorrow & take away all their cloaths, I'll teach the rascals Decency!" The clerk says: "By the Powers! we'll commit them." Two men, barelegged and ragged, look in at the door (left). One says: "Sure we are only diverting ourselves your Worship becase we have no dinner"; the other: "Faith & sure & the'll never lave us to go home Naked!" A dandy stands against the wall looking with quizzical amusement at the Mayor."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A sequel to British Museum Satires No. 13397. The Mayor and clerk sit as before. The two constables have brought in three naked bathers, who modestly try to screen their persons with hat, handkerchief, and a basket inscribed 'Sprats from the Royal Canal'. The two women peep in at the door, scandalized; their place near the table is taken by a woman in a red cloak who says: "Blood & Ouns your Worship give poor pat his breeches!!!!" One constable, with coat and breeches over his arm, points to his victims: "Here your Worship, I have brought three of those rebelious Naked Vagabonds before your Lordship to be treated your honor according to Law." The other, also holding ragged garments, stands smugly silent. The men say: [1] "Please your worshipful Lordship tell the Constable to give me my Cloathes--sure & little enough I have of them"; [2] "O! your honor! for the decency of Ireland don't let the Constable sell my poor rags!!!" [3] "By my soul I think is Lordship is going to turn us all into Hottentots." The Mayor, extending a clenched fist, shouts: "You rascals! how dare you presume to cool your selves in the Royal Canal--? No one in this Country must meddle with Royalty--I think I have prevented further indecency on your Parts--give them their cloathes Constable." His left hand rests on a paper: 'Plan for Reforming the City of Dublin'. The two women at the door say: "La what a sight!!!!!!" and "I think it is a greater shame than it was before--I'm quite shock'd to see it." The dandy (? Archer) looks mockingly towards the Mayor, saying, "Well! I think an Archer Bull is not to be found in Joe Miller"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A midshipman (left) dressed as a dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) braces hands and feet against a mast on the extreme left, while four sailors, standing on a turn-table (right), wind up by a windlass a rope attached to his stays (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13394), compressing a wasp-waist. His coat, bell-shaped top-hat, with belt and dirk, are on a chair beside him. He says: "Very well my hearties very indeed--'pon honor. This lacing is not very agreeable, but it will be fully compensated by the grand dash I shall make at East London Theatre tonight--Oh! I shall be most enchanting! Oh, charming! Oh! delightful! after Ive got a pint of Rowlands Maccassar Oil [see British Museum Satires No. 12405] on my head--Pull away! heave away! pull away hearties!!" An old sailor sits on a gun smoking; he leans against the side of the ship, looking over his shoulder to say with a contemptuous grimace: "I say Master Midshipman, I always thought you a little crack-brained; now I'm convinced of it, for as you've turn'd Dandy, that's proof positive--I'ts all up withyou & all I have to say is you're not worth a -- quid of tobacco." Another midshipman, wearing a cockaded top-hat, jeers at the dandy with flexed knees and raised arms: "My Eyes!! Oh Murder! Ha! ha! ha!! Jack Greathead the cheesemonger's son got stays!!! Well, I've a good mind to get petticoats!--these Dandies are a disgrace to Great Britan--" The four sailors pushing hard at the windlass all grin; one asks: "I say, Mainmast, do you intend to get Stays"; Mainmast: "Get Stays! Why man I have stays already & have order'd a pair of Buckskin, & 2 pair of Sealskin, what do you think of that eh?!!" The third, a negro, says: "Me vid tink Massa vid soon have the Belly ache!!" The fourth: "Huzza! don't flinch my boys tho' he call "Stop" don't do so--Heave away my lads give him a twitcher--heave away He, Ho He Ho--!!"."--British Museum online catalogue
