Description
English: Gin Lane, from Beer Street and Gin Lane

The accompanying poem, not printed in this reissue, reads:

Gin, cursed Fiend, with Fury fraught,
Makes human Race a Prey.
It enters by a deadly Draught
And steals our Life away.


Virtue and Truth, driv'n to Despair
Its Rage compells to fly,
But cherishes with hellish Care
Theft, Murder, Perjury.


Damned Cup! that on the Vitals preys
That liquid Fire contains,
Which Madness to the heart conveys,
And rolls it thro' the Veins.
Français : La rue du Gin. Gravure accompagnée d'un poème dans sa première édition.

Traduction du poème:


"Le gin, maudit démon, empli de furie,
Fait de la race humaine une proie.
Il rentre en une gorgée mortelle,
Et vole a vie,


La Vertu et la vérité, menées au désespoir,
Sa rage les fait fuir,
Mais il chérit avec un attention infernale,
Le vol, le meurtre et le parjure.


Maudite coupe, qui happe les vivants,
Ce liquide contient un feu,
Dont il mène la folie au coeur,
Et et le guide dans les veines."
