Framed Print of The humours of Belvoir Castle, or the morning after
The humours of Belvoir Castle, or the morning after. Print shows a number of encounters, in two panels, between men and women either off to bed or awakened to the horrors of the night before: the first, an old man on the arm of an old woman, says, Och! Long life to Belvoir Castle... and now heres a polite Damsel, going to shew me to bed in the morning! to which the woman responds, Come along sir... bless me I would not have my Lady to see me for the World! She would never have an opinion of my virtue again. The second encounter has a rather homely man discovering by candlelight that he has slept with an African woman who tells him...you did, and you be very pretty man. The third encounter shows an old man exclaiming that he has often heard that his wife wore the Breeches and now I am convinced of it as he catches sight of her in her nightdress, one breast exposed, and a mans breeches around her shoulders, and she thinking I shall now escape without detection of her adulterous activities. The top panel closes with an old man sitting at a table having tea with a young couple, the young man, a rake, proposes to...read you a passage in Shakespeares Twelfth Night - there is something peculiarly whimsical and interesting in the Character of Malvolio to which the young woman replies...for like Malvolio I perceive you are cross garter d and the old man exclaims, Cross garter d, why Tom has got on a Ladys Stocking - there must be some cursed mistake in this. The bottom panel continues in this vein with a man on one knee appealing to a plump woman, Shew me to bed - or give me something to drink - great lump of loveliness - devine Cherry-bum, - hear me! - give me some drink, thou mighty Castle Spectre! The next encounter has a husband and wife embracing in the dark, he thinking...I should know her voice from a thousand after hearing her speak, I am glad I have found you my Dear, I persuaded my Husband to let us have separate rooms, as he complain d of being very ill.
