'The disgraced flunky' is a moral tale on the merits of honesty. 'The poor man's song' tells of the harsh economic conditions of the time and the plight of the poor and unemployed. From reading the note at the foot of the sheet it could be conjectured that this broadside may have been sold by the recently impoverished in order to alleviate their plight.
