"Two yokels stand outside a rustic inn, with a sign of fighting cocks; peasants are dancing. The verses relate comic incidents of low life in London: quarrelling, drinking, and fightng. They end: 'Then God bless our noble King George, May his reign be ever so long, And grant, as the Parliament's met, That nothing whatever goes wrong'."--British Museum online catalogue
