Plate 31: Yeddart with His Little Nose

   
 
 


Publish'd as the Act Directs, June 1773

7 3/4"w x 5"h

               
   
 

From "The EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES in the Book of Heads entitled
HUMAN PASSIONS DELINEATED": PLATE 31

   
 

H

ERE Yeddart with his little nose
Both envy lodge his great one ;

As often poorest folks do those
They have their clothes and meat on.

For envy like to vital air,
Runs through all sorts of people :
Through th' pompous court and country bare,
And lords of ev'ry steeple.
