Summary
"Social satire: a man hides a plate with a roast pig carried to a table by a serving girl from two parsons, well practised in the art, who have sniffed it out and want a piece, saying it is only eggs and bacon and "I scorns to tell a lie your Honors. - I attends to your Sarmunts to much for that"."--British Museum online catalogue.
