The female barber. ; Is that a soldier? sure the painter lies, at most he's but a soldier in disguise, for who can think that he who guards our land, shou'd thus be nose-led by a female hand ... Lettering continues: See then ye fair the force of female skill, a nose the rudder man's turn'd where she will, nor think ye sons of mars who boast in fight, a red coat's a defence 'gainst woman's might. Bears number: "180"
