Cruikshank, The Gin Shop, plate 9

This is the paper, the poor drunkard signed, Which was brought by the pastor, so noble and kind, Who pitied the woman, with wobegone face, And her husband, the drunkard, in rags and disgrace; Who was served by the woman, all jewels and lace, The wife of the landlord... Illustration no. 9 of 12 by George Cruikshank to The Gin-Shop, an improving rhyme warning against the dangers of alcohol and advocating the temperance pledge
