But Insubordination, fierce and blind,

Mouthing out furious threat or promise hollow.

Is the sworn foe of civilised mankind;

Breaking up ancient bonds of love and duty,

All social links that bear abiding test,

With no sound promise of a better beauty,

A fairer justice, or a truer rest.

No; patient Labour, with its long-borne burden

And guardian Force, with its thrice-noble trust,

Claim from the State the fullest, freest guerdon,
