Fifty times the State has fooled and blundered,
Fifty times the royal pension’s risen
Since the Queen assumed the globe, the sceptre.

Are there children starving in our alleys?
Are there famine-stricken homes in cities?
Trust not Queen or Lords to feed the people;
Till the nation rules no troubles vanish.
When the Right is Victor, then the darkness
Dawns into the liberty of the ages.
