Description |
A tall woman is kissing a short, moustached man. Behind her on a table are a bokk markeds "Hymns" and another marked "Bible".
The valentine asserts that this is not the first time the woman has kissed a minister and that when his wife heard about it
before, she tore out the woman's hair, which is why she wears a wig. The valentine cautions that if she repeats this behavior,
she can expect to lose this wig as well.

Notes |
Text: Don’t look so pious, madam, / We’ve heard of you before, / You kissed the little minister / Behind his study door; /
And when his wife heard of it, / The row ensued was big, / And that is how you came to wear / That little curled-up wig. Now
pray be careful what you do, / Or you will lose your nice wig too.
