Lettered, lower left: "W. Hamilton R.A. Pinxt. | Soon as the morning trembles o'er the sky, | And, unperceiv'd, unfolds the spreading day; | Before the ripen'd field the Reapers Stand, | In fair array; each by the lass he loves, | To bear the rougher past, and miligate, | By nameless gentle offices her toil."; lettered, lower right: "F. Bartolozzi R.A. Sculpt. | At once the stoop and swell the lushy sheaves; | While through these chearful band the rural talk, | The rural scandal, and the rural jest, | Fly harmless, to deceive the tedious time, | And steal unfelt the sultry hours away. | Vide. Thompsons Autumn."; lettered, lower center: "August. | London, Publish'd Augt. 30th.1793, by Thos. Macklin, Poets Gallery, Fleet Street."
