The lower margin reads: "What is this my Son Tom./ Our wise Forefathers would express/ Ev'n Sensibility in Dress;/ The modern Race delight to Shew/ What Folly in Excess can do:/ The honest Farmer, come to Town, Can scarce believe his Son his own:/ If thus the Taste continues Here,/ What will it be another Year?/ London, Published by R. Sayer & J. Bennett N.o 53 Fleet Street, as the Act directs 24 June 1774."
