Milk Cow: Satire on the Exploitation of the Netherlands by the Prince of Orange
This image shows Queen Elizabeth I feeding the cow and William the Silent, Prince of Orange beneath the cow. Inscription: "Not longe time since I sawe a cowe / Did Flaunders represente / Upon whose backe kinge Phillip rode / As being malecontnt. // The queene of England giving hay / Wheare on the cow did feede / As one that was her greatest helpe / In her distresse and neede. // The prince of Orange milkt the cow / and made his purse the payle / The cow did shyt in monsieurs hand / While he did hold her tayle."
