In this etching, Samuel Johnson addresses Mrs Piozzi thus:

When Streatham spread its pleasant board,
I opened learnng's valued hoard,
And as I feasted, prosed.
Good things I said, good things I eat
I gave you knowledge for your meat,
And thought th' account was closed.

If obligations I still owed,
You sold each item to the crowd,
I suffered by the tale.
For God's sake, Madam, let me rest,
No longer vex your quondam guest:
I'll pay you for your ale.
