A design in three compartments, one above, and two below.  Beneath, twenty-eight lines of verse are etched in two columns which identify 'the Cutting Monster' with the Devil.   [1] Weltje (left) approaches a young woman wearing a high-crowned hat; he holds a knife, saying, "By Gat I will give you de German Cut".  [2] A young woman flees to the left, both arms extended, from Thurlow who wears ordinary dress with legal bands and wig.  He holds a knife in his left hand and looks away from her, saying, "Blast her she's afraid of it!" The 'as' of 'Blast' has been struck through; the word indicates Thurlow's habitual use of strong language (cf. BMSat 7320). [3] A man holding a knife runs after a fleeing and terrified young woman (right), saying, "Deel an my Saul but I'll tip 'em the Highland Reel".  He wears a military coat with a round hat and buckled shoes.  The verses relate that the Devil was allowed to come to earth on condition that he married a beautiful virgin; to test virginity: 
<p><br><br>'A little Dagger with a Tube, 
<br>was fill'd With juice of Plants, 
<br>which such a Liquor yield, 
<br>That when to Womans velvet Flesh apply'd, 
<br>It makes no Entrance if a Maid is try'd.'  29 May 1790
