Men of England, wherefore plow For the lords who lay ye low?
Wherefore weave with toil and care
The rich robes your tyrants wear?
Wherefore feed, and clothe, and save, 5
From the cradle to the grave,
Those ungrateful drones1 who would
Drain your sweat-nay, drink your blood?

Wherefore, bees of England, forge
Many a weapon, chain, and scourge, 10
That these stingless drones may spoil
The forced produce of your toil?
img/invis. gif
Have ye leisure, comfort, calm,
Shelter, food, love's gentle balm?
Or what is it ye buy so dear 15
With your pain and with your fear?
The seed ye sow, another reaps;
The wealth ye find, another keeps;
The robes ye weave, another wears;
The arms ye forge, another bears. 20
Sow seed-but let no tyrant reap;
Find wealth-let no impostor heap;
Weave robes-let not the idle wear;
Forge arms-in your defense to bear.
Shrink to your cellars, holes, and cells; 25
In halls ye deck another dwells.
Why shake the chains ye wrought? Ye see
The steel ye tempered glance on ye.
With plow and spade, and h*e and loom,
Trace your grave, and build your tomb, 30
And weave your winding sheet, till fair
England be your sepulcher.
Select all that apply.
