Numbered 205, with five lines of verse:
Whether Doctor, or Balaam, is most to be prais'd,
Our readers are left in some doubt,
The good Doctor 'tis sure, the Outcry first rais'd'
But the braying compleated the Rout.
An early depiction of bodysnatchers in a church graveyard,disturbed by the braying of an ass.
An anatomist is overseeing the operation.
