Heading to engraved verses: 'Sung by Mr Mathews, at the Theatre-Royal Haymarket in Mr Hook's Popular Farce, of Catch Him Who Can.'  A well-dressed man sits in a rowing-boat, singing with hand on heart, while a waterman sculls. In the water (r.) a young woman is sinking. The verses relate that Tom Clutterbuck of Chester rowed on the Dee with his lady love, and sang to her.  She went to sleep and fell overboard.  When he saw that she had disappeared, he jumped overboard and both were drowned. Illustrated by R. Cruikshank in 'The Universal Songster', i. 1825, p.257.   24 July 1806
