Diana the Huntress (2012)
“For John is a good-natured fellow, Industrious, honest and brave; Not afraid of his betters when mellow, For betters he knows he must have.
There must be fine lords and fine ladies, There must be some little, some great; Their wealth the support of our trade is, Our trade the support of the State.
The plough and the loom would stand still, If we were made gentlefolks all; If clodhoppers who then would fill The parliament, pulpit or hall?
‘Rights of Man’ makes a very fine sound, ‘Equ...al riches’ a plausible tale; Whose labourers would then till the ground?
All would drink, but who’d brew the ale?
Half naked and starv’d in the streets, We would wander about, sans culottes; Would Liberty find us in meats, Or Equality lengthen our coats?
That knaves are for levelling, don’t wonder, We may easily guess at their views; Pray, who’d gain the most by the plunder?MoreLess
