Illustration to verses (p. 71 f.) with the same title. A sow takes in its teeth the coat-tails of a fat parson who lies face downward on the stones of the sty.

Another with a pitchfork leans over the low paling with a grin; a small boy much amused looks over; a woman with a child in her arms watches with amusement. 1 March 1784 Etching More Producer namePrint made by: William Blake biographyAfter: Samuel Collings biographyPublished by: Harrison & Co biography School/styleBritish Date1784 Production placePublished in: London term details(Europe,British Isles,England,London) Materialspaper Techniqueetching term details DimensionsHeight: 194 millimetresWidth: 238 millimetres Inscriptions Inscription Content Lettered below image with production detail, "Collings del. / Blake sculp."; lettered below with object title; lettered below with publication line: "Publish'd as the Act directs, by Harrison & Co.
