There was a numerous attendance of ' cutter-lads, ' so designated be- cause they subscribed towards pleasure-boats, to row with four, six, or eight persons and their cockswain was dressed in a red jacket with gold lace and white petticoat trousers. The above 146 THE PILGRIMS OF THE THAMES cutter lads made quite a parade of their exertions up and down the River.
" It was one continued scene of rude low-life and gaiety, which lasted for several years ; and the ridiculous and absurd idea of being ...thought a ' deep one/ and a ' knowing character/ was the only great object in view with all these sort of people. The rooms at night were turned into Free and Easy clubs full of noise and confusion, and obscured in smoke and scarcely any thing heard but the lowest of flash songs. The following short specimen will not only shew the taste of that period, but amply suffice : Behold the City youth, to the garden he does run, Where he toddles by the Judies, and thinks it is rum fun : Oh, he toddles by their sides, and stands the 5am for gin, Naps a kiss for his treat, and he bundles home by ten.
