A Hint to Young Officers (published July 7, 1804) took place during his time as Commander-in-Chief of Scotland. The rhyme at the bottom reads: "When loud the Watchman cry'd the Hour And call'd till he was hoarse -- "Past Twelve o'Clock!["] Then down the Lord of the Castle came His Aid-de-Camp to meet -- And when his Aid-de-Camp he espied All shivering in the Street -- Thou'rt welcome here, dear Aid-de-Camp The generous Noble said Altho' it is past 12 o'Clock And Servants all in bed Thou'rt welcome here dear Aid-de-Camp Put down your Hat & Coat; Walk in & Sup, we'll make it up, But, don't do so Again!" 
"The circumstances alluded to in this plate, is as follows. Lord Moira, who was then Governor of Edinburgh Castle, severely scolded his servant one morning for not calling him in time for review. The man excused himself on the plea that Mr. Tom Sheridan, his lordship's aide-de-camp, never returned home till four or five o'clock in the morning, and that this was the cause of his over-sleeping himself. Lord Moira desired him not to sit up that night, as he would open the door himself. Accordingly, when Sheridan knocked, his lordship opened it. Sheridan felt the rebuke, made many apologies, and promised to be more regular in future."2 Notes: 1 Commentary from Thomas Wright and R. H.
