Crossing a body of water, a woman sits astride a donkey, thus revealing her calves. She raises a switch to urge the donkey

| Notes |
Text: The Great Mogul of Tartary, / I am sure would laugh and stare, / To look upon this picture, / And this very pretty pair.
/ Come wriggle on sweet waggle tail. / Your charms indeed with me prevail / At any time you want a porter, / Do not forget
JACK IN THE WATER.
