If I am translating correctly, he’s saying, “Let’s go, bitches [there is more than one slave girl in the original drawing], enough talk. Move along, and faster than that, whores!” (Morue is a slang term. Literal meaning: codfish.) I’m a little confused about what is going on around her mouth. It looks like it should be covered, but to all appearances it is not. (And in the uncropped drawing, she is speaking.)
Cardy, thanks for the translation! In the uncropped image, all four of the visible slaves have some sort of transparent/translucent mouth coverings. They clearly aren’t gags, but I am not at all sure what they are intended to represent.
