Criticism must always be silent when confronted with that.

The joy of having to obey

Lights up each driver's face,

And so the motors move away

Each to its destined place.

You must not suppose, however, that there was no show of opposition. As you have observed, our poetess believes, on the whole, in sticking closely to historical truth.

The minions of the Government,

A weak and craven breed,

Stand by, quite helpless to prevent

This great heroic deed.
