Plate 3: When Filthy Lucre Joins a Man and Wife

   
 
 


Publish'd as the Act Directs, May 1773

7 3/4"w x 5"h

               
   
 

From "The EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES in the Book of Heads entitled
HUMAN PASSIONS DELINEATED": PLATE 3

   
 

S

EE here an emblem of a married life,
When filthy lucre joins a man and wife :

Each three times married, both expected riches ;
Both sides are cheated, — and thus fight for th' breeches.
Disorder reigns ! — all pleasure flies away ;
Chagrin the night, and fury rules the day.
