'The Vicar &amp; Moses'. A fat vicar, wearing hat, gown, and bands, walks in profile to the right, taking the arm of his lean clerk, who holds out a lantern to light them towards a church which is seen among trees in the distance. In the vicar's right hand is a box inscribed "Tobacco"; in his left, which is thrust through the clerk's arm, he holds a long pipe with a smoking bowl. The clerk has lank hair, wide-brimmed hat, and clerical bands, his stockings are ungartered; the candle in the lantern is broken and guttering. Both smile tipsily, the vicar sings "Tol de rol de rol ti dol", the clerk, "di dol", the refrain of the song engraved below. The clerk had come to fetch the vicar to bury an infant, had stayed to drink with him till past midnight, when both stagger out to go to the church.  21 January 1782
