Description: | inscription & verse, transfer-printing, copperplate, except 'Country Village', 'Vicar', and 'Tythes' in the first verse and 'Hobs' and 'Pig' in second verse. Arranged in two columns, The TYTHE PIG
In a Country Village lives a Vicar
Fond as all are - of Tyths and Liquor
To Mirth his Ears are seldom shut
He'll Crack a Joke and Laugh at Smut
But when his Tythes he gathers in
True Parfon then - no Coin. no Grin.
On fish. on Flesh. on Bird. on Beast
Alike lays hold the Churlish Priest
Hobs Wife and Sow - as Gofsip tell
Boath at a time in pieces fell,
The Parson comes, the Pig he claims
And the good wife with Taunts inflames.
But She quite Arch bow'd low and smil'd
Kept back the pig and held the Child
The Priest Look'd gruff, the wife look'd big
L--ds S.ir quoth she. no Child no Pig
