Summary
A pretty young girl with long hair under a huge mob cap sits on the knees of a fat clergyman who in turn sits astride a cart made from a cask of ale marked 'October'. One of the wheels of this cart is labelled "Cheshire"; the cart is being pulled by a sow whose three babies are suckling her. The clergyman is kissing the girl and holding a glass in his right hand. A devil stands on the back of the cask looking over the clergyman's head and the tip of his tail is in the glass. A signpost to the right reads "To the Bottom". A boar follows the cart at a distance. In the distant background on the left is a church.
