"THE PRETTY PAIR
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 yoiu want a porter,
Do not forget JACK IN THE WATER."

The Great Mogul Of Tartary Refers To The Mughal Empire, Which Was Founded In 1526 By The Turkic Conqueror Babur And Ruled Much Of The Indian Subcontinent Until The 19th Century.
The Mughals Were Descendants Of The Mongol Ruler Genghis Khan, And Were Sometimes Referred To As "Tartars" Or "Moguls" By European Writers.

Jack In The Water Refers To An Attendant At The Watermen's Stairs On The River And Sea-Port Towns, Who Does Not Mind Wetting His Feet For A Customer's Convenience, In Consideration Of A Douceur (Small Tip).
