A younger boy scratches his head in puzzlement as he watches the play, and a beadle raises his cane to strike Idle. In the foreground skulls and bones are shown at an open grave. To the right in the background, the congregation enters the church. The right of the frame is decorated with a scourge, manacles and a hangman's rope; on the left frame hang the mace of the City of London, the alderman's gold chain and a sword of state.
