Text beneath image in original says:
Old England is mighty; Old England is free; She boasts that she ruleth the waves of the sea; (But between you and I, that's all fiddle-de-dee;) She cannot, O Cotton! she cannot rule thee. Lo! Manchester's lordling thy greatness shall own, and yield more to thee than he would to the Throne; For before thee shall bend his fat marrow-bone, and deaf be his ear to the live chattel's groan.
