Summary

[edit]
The modern paradise, satirical print, 1780
Title
The modern paradise, satirical print, 1780
Description

A naked man holding a sword and a naked woman with a lavish head-dress (Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire?) are standing under the Tree of Life from which are falling cards; the devil in the foreground and a fight between Abel and Cain in the background. Engraving, 24 November 1780.
The Modern Paradise or Adam and Eve, Regenerated
How different, the Paradise now in your View
To that which of Old the fam'd Milton once drew
Tho we own the Serpant deceiv'd Eve and Adam
Yet cunninger now is our Good Sir and Madam
Improv'd in each Vice and each Folly thats going
Modern Adams and Eves are alike equal knowing
Are so well qualified in each thing that's call'd Evil
That They capable seem to impose on the Devil
