The Ghost or Poor Paddy and the Black Cat. 1801
1801
Lettering: The ghost - or poor Paddy and the black cat. Then gently stepping from his bed, and peeping round o'erwhelmed with dread! behind the door, low couch'd he spies a huge black cat, with saucer eyes. And now his heart no longer quails, when this Grimalkin he assails: what devil put it in thy head, to take thy station near my bed: I'll give thee something in a trice, not quite so good as catching mice. something not so sweet as amber, then thrusts him in the pot de chambre.
