X is a letter that looks like a cross,

An emblem of the working man’s life;

He has crosses enough, he finds to his cost;

If he dares for to ask for his rights.

Y stands for Yoke, the poor man must bear,

’Tis an odious badge of slavery to wear;

But never mind, boys! we will weather the storm,

And toast in a bumper, success to Reform!

Z stands for the Zeal the Reformers must use,

If they stick back and edge to gain what’s their dues.
