Family of pigs at dungheap. Erhard Schoen, not before 1491-1542. Woodcut.

The poetry, translated from Early Modern High German:

Now start eating dear children
This food has no bones
What you don't like, just leave
Another will then have a taste of it.

Who would want to have to pay for it
If it were not served on a platter?
It is quite fresh and warm.
Whoever doubts it may piss on it.

Abduction of Ganymede, by Benoît Louis Henriquez - 1786-1808.

Apparently, Zeus was getting ragged on by his wife Hera, so he took the form of an eagle, flew down to earth from high Olympus, and grabbed a pretty boy named Ganymede. Henceforth, Zeus made this guy his wine steward and the gods just ...gayed it up with him there.
