Details |
This is the text which the good pastor chose, And the light on the soul of the drunkard arose, As he sat in the church, to which one Sabbath-day, Along with his wife he had taken his way, Drawn there by the pastor, so loving and kind, Who brought him the pledge which he joyfully signed; The pastor who pitied the woman's sad case, And her husband, the drunkard, in rags and disgrace.. Illustration 11 of 12 by George Cruikshank to The Gin-Shop, an improving rhyme warning against dangers of drink.
