From "The EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES in the Book of Heads entitled
HUMAN PASSIONS DELINEATED": PLATE 27

A	Well-fed vicar tired with thinking, And fairly overcome by drinking;
Forgets his flock and holy cause, Rakes with a vender of the laws, Who scorns the trade of under-sapping, Doth fairly take his rev'rence napping; And with a glass of claret wine, Law canonizes the divine.
