Five heads, much caricatured, arranged in two pairs, facing each other, in profile, the centre head being full-face and superimposed upon the two heads which are back to back. On the left, in profile to the right, is 'honest old Coward' who faces 'Squire Richard'. On the right 'Dick Howard', in profile to the right, faces 'Miss Bridget'. In the centre is an old woman wearing spectacles, 'Goody Gobble Cock'. The song is 'To be sung in character, to the Tune of an "Old Woman cloathed in Grey'". The song relates the efforts of all to rekindle a candle with a glowing wick by blowing or 'puffing' at it. The first and last verses are :
<p><br><br>I.
<br>'A Family lived in the West,
<br>Of whom I this Story indite, 
<br>Whose Mouths were the drollest confest 
<br>That ever gave Mirrh [sic] or Delight.
<br><br>VIII.
<br>Thus Puffing's become now the Trade,
<br>Of Katerfelto* and Graham* well known, 
<br>Whose Mouths confessedly are made, 
<br>For nought else but Puffing alone. 
<br>* Two Travelling Philosophers.' 
<br><br>'This Song is dedicated to those 'Princes of Puffs', who exist at their 'Wholesale Puff' a de 'Puff Warehouses', the Sign of the 'Devil' and 'Black Cat', Piccadilly; the 'Temple of Health, Pall Mall'; the 'Brazen Head, St Stephen's Chapel' [the House of Commons]; and those numourous Tribe of 'Puffs' whose Names are on the Back Door, with Lamps in the Passage, &amp;c. &amp;c. 
<br><br>By their most humble Servant, LIVY PUFF, Junr.'  9 April 1783
