Last Wednesday morning by day-light, was exhibited to
publick view, at the Hay-Market in this town, the effigies
of a S--p M--r, the D--l, and a Boot between them, . . .
[long metaphorical trial of Stamp master]
The judge then sentenced the prisoner to be carried from
thence to the place of execution, and there to hand by the
neck till dead; then his remains to betaken down and burnt
to ashes, which was attended by the Grand Deceiver, who held
this libel --
  George my son, you're young in station,
  But you may serve me in this nation;
  Seven hundred sterling may be lost;
  Take this: twill amply pay your cost.
