James Sykes
I think it’s a good law,
Good and supremely useful,
It my take fifty or sixty years,
Contempt loves the silence.
We lose the benefit of the give-and-take,
Always take good for evil,
Remorseful, drew the sword.
A jealous and arbitrary feudal lord,
Man should be kind to animals,
Of good English peasant class.
