A skimmington or charivari: people make noise and are violent in the street as a form of rough justice exercised by women against men; on the right Hudibras enters on horseback, and is hit in the eye by a thrown egg. Etching by W. Hogarth, 1726.

An episode in Hudibras by Samuel Butler, part II, canto 2, vv. 565-848. Left, a tailor's shop, marked by a signboard showing scissors: the tailor and his wife look out of a window. Below them, a cuckold seated backwards on a horse, holds a distaff and is hit by a woman with a ladle.Two men hold up pennants in the form of a petticoat and a smock with horns. A man uses a ladle to throw dirt carried in paniers. Other men make rough music by blowing horns or the bagpipes. Left, a man urinates against the tailor's house, another man swings a cat, and a third bangs a cauldron with a wooden spoon
