In a land of iron bondage,

Bound by chains I cannot break,

Scorned by every honest dotard?—

Yet some day my wrath I’ll slake!

Wait awhile, boys! Go ahead! &c.

Richly fed and richly clothed,

Was the honest greasy fool,

Who in judgment sat upon me;

He, of tyrant’s wretched tool,

Ne’er, forsooth, stole fruit or kerchief;
