Moll Hackabout having taken a look at
The last picture in A Harlot's Progress
Knows how Hogarth means to end
Her story so on this rainy day when
She has no customers she amuses
The sympathetic bunter with plans
To escape into another print. "I think,"
She says, "I'd make a good Salome
Or perhaps Judith if the light is kind.
Either way, why don't you come along
And bring that tray with you?
We can put the severed head on it."
