Congrats to all who identified the fragment from
Pacific Overtures.  The complete text is:

Hello, I come with letters from her majesty, Victoria
Who hearing how you're trading now says hallelulia Gloria.
And sent me to convey to you her positive euphoria
As well as little gifts from Britain's various emporia.

Her letters do contain a few proposals to your emperor
Which if of course he won't endorse will put her in a temper, or
But happily should he agree would serve to keep her placider
At least 'til I am followed by a permanent ambassador.

Her majesty considers the arrangements to be tentative
Until we ship a proper diplomatic representative
We don't foresee that you will be the least big argumentative
so please ignore the man o' war we brought as a preventative.

(BLAM)

Back to the cartoons, already in progress.
