This is the House that Jack Built.
(A Temple of Liberty.)
This is the Wealth that lay in the House that Jack built.
(Magna Charta, Habeas Corpus, Bill of Rights.)
These are the Vermin that plunder the Wealth,
that lay in the House that Jack built.
(Court Official, Bishops, Lawyers, Army, Tax-collectors.)
This is the Thing, that in spite of new Acts,
And attempts to restrain it by Soldiers or Tax,
Will poison the Vermin, that plunder the Wealth,
That lay in the House, that Jack built.
