"EQUALITY.

" Ye are all equal, Nature made you so.

EQUALITY is your birthright;—when I gaze On the proud palace, and behold one man

In the blood-purpled robes of royalty, Feasting at ease, and lording over millions,

Then turn me to the but of poverty, And see the wretched lab'rer, worn with toil, Divide his scanty morsel with his infants, I sicken, and, indignant at the sight, Blush for the patience of humanity.'

" (Wat Tyler, by Southey, before he shirked.)"
