Two copies of the same print.
Two men sit either side of a small table upon which are a jug and two glasses. The man on the left is smiling a holding a pipe in his left hand. He says to his companion:
"La! Neighbour. How you talk. I have had five and am going to be married again, bless the sweet creattures, how they always called me tall Joey, the Lad for the Ladies."
His companion, on the right, is also smoking pipe, but has a serious expression and says:
