Explore "Verses and Sonnets" by Hilaire Belloc on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Distinguish carefully between these two, / This thing is yours, that other thing is mine. / You have a shirt, a brimless hat, a shoe / And half a coat. I am the Lord benign / Of fifty hundred acres of fat land / To which I have a right. You understand?
I have a right because I have, because, / Because I have -- because I have a right. / Now be quite calm and good, obey the laws, / Remember your low station, do not fight / Against the goad, because, you know, it pricks / Whenever the uncleanly demos kicks.
