Prosperity, (with Harlot's smiles, most pleasing, when she most beguiles,) How soon, sweet foe, can all thy train of false, gay, frantick, loud & vain, enter the unprovided mind...Designed by W. Hogarth. Engraved by T. Cook Lettering continues:...and memory in fetters bind; load faith and love with golden chain, and sprinkle Lethe o're the brain!
