Notes: 

2 columns of verse under image: "The chearful Night worn out within, / While Wit was furnesh'd round by Gin, / See, maudlin, from a Cellar issue / These titled Vulgar, cloth'd in Tessue! / Well arm'd and fir'd, was ever seen, / In greater state, a Midnight Queen? / Did ever Cou-rs round appear / With higher Dignity than here? / Example more than Precept draws, / And, Vicious, blunts the Edge of Laws: / For, not the worst of Fame can rob, / This motley, n-le, Mohock Mob".
