Cup with printed scene of a slave being whipped

Small cup with a tropical scene showing an overseer whipping a kneeling and chained enslaved African and the verse:

'From Sun to Sun the Negro toils
No smiles reward his trusty care,
And when the indignant mind recoils,
His doom is whips and black despair'
