It references Dr. Halley's work and includes this nod to the progress of the science of astronomy: "If therefore this comet return according to this period in 1758 and there is the greatest reason to think it will astronomy will then have something new to boast of."

They are set to the melodies of popular songs of the time which are mentioned at the start.

We have been able to trace two copies of the Morale with a Calendrier for a different year.
