The verse encircled with gnarled grape vines in the center of this print reads:
It is finished!
You have served your day.
Poor old pump!
Without pomp you much now die.
But to soften the shock of this iniquitous decree,
why do you not by some Bacchic magic,
start pumping out good wine,
instead of water
which so few like'
