Toms Garland Upon the Unemployed

Tom—garlanded with squat and surly

Tom; then Tom's fallowbootfellow piles

By him and rips out rockfire homeforth—sturdy Dick;

Country is honour enough in all us—lordly head,

With heaven's lights high hung round, or,

That mammocks, mighty foot.

Nor mind nor mainstrength; gold go

Of earth's glory, earth's ease, all; no one, nowhere,

In wide the world's weal; rare gold, bold steel, bare                In both; care, but share care—This, by Despair, bred Hangdog dull; by Rage,

Manwolf, worse; and their packs infest the age.
