Fighting our battle? Humph! A rather roundabout
Way of so doing! P'r'aps your Masters, too,
Would claim the same—there are such Bosses found about;
Westminsters, Liveseys, Norwoods, and that crew,
All for our good, not only Strike-Committees,
But Rate-payers' Defence Leagues, and the like!
Oh, the poor Propertied Classes! How one pities
Those victims of the School Board, Council, Strike!
If Miners and Mine-Owners pull together
To raise the price of Coal—well, it may suit
