| Description |
A man and a woman sit at a table together, and her arm is around his shoulder. Both hold drinks, and her skirt billows to
reveal her legs. A street sign points left and reads "Free Country." The valentine criticizes the recipient for pretending
to be a soldier in order to pimp.

| Notes |
Text: 'Tis such as you, that every day, / We meet in uniform quite gay, / Who boldly claim an honest mission, / But have no
officer's commission, / Recruiting soon a goodly number, / You sell them, like the thief his plunder, / And spend your gold
in drunken raids, / In beer saloons, with baser maids.
