Beneath the design is engraved: "Behold the poor Bull! once Britania's chief boast, Is kill'd by State Cooks, and laid down for a Roast! While his Master, who should all his Honours maintain, Turns the Spit tho' he should such an Office disdain. Monsieur licks his gills at a bit of the Brown, And the other two wish for to gobble him down, But may ill digestion attend on the treat, And the Cooks every one soon be roasted, & Eat.""--British Museum online catalogue
