Satire on Alexander Pope and his physical limitations. A well furnished room into which, on the left, the Earl of Warwick enters remonstrating with Colley Cibber who has grasped the diminutive figure of Pope by the ankle, pulling him off a well-dressed but dishevelled prostitute whose naked thighs are revealed as she reclinines on an upholstered sofa. Cibber claims to have sav'd Homer, a reference to Pope's translation but also a double-entendre. On the floor lie Pope's wig and Cibber's play "The Nonjuror". On the wall are three pictures, one referring to a small officer attempting to beat an unperturbed grenadier, a scene from Pope's play, "Three Hours after Marriage" showing two men disguised as a mummy and a crocodile surprising a young woman; a tom-tit perched on the back of a hen.   31 July 1742
