Whether of fair or sable skin,

According to Nature's scheme,

That Human Movement contains within

A Blood-Power stronger than Steam.

Onward, onward, with hasty feet,

They swarm—and westward still—

Masses born to drink and eat,

But starving amidst Whitechapel's meat,

And famishing down Cornhill!

Through the Poultry—but still unfed—
