    BY THE AUTHOR OF CORN-LAW RHYMfcS . A heaven for lords i » Britain , The land of toil and famine ; In Kngiand men work hard for scorn , In Ireland men are clamming . * If hell itself were Britain Could worse than this be said ? It' devils were lords in England They could but tax our bread .

    Toil'd England ! bread less Erin ! Your spoilers prate of Poland ! They talk of Russia ' s acred slaves , To helots who have no land ! They could but starve their feeders , And call the fetter'd free , If the knout were Britain ' s sceptre , Abhorr'd from sea to sea !

    In hopeless pain we labour For more saints than Saint Monday ; We toil for seofn , six days in seven * And Agnew ' s bill for Sunday ; If William ' s the Reformer , Can this be truly paid ? The Devil ' s not king of England ; And yet they tax our bread 1

    There ' s bread enough for Britain , Had Britain leave to barter : We ' re free to make , but not to sell ! Is this Great William ' s charter ? Or have the Rortens chang'd him For Graham ' s \ roollen head ? If Pe ^ el were king of England , He could but tax our bread .

    Who rob white slaves , that black ones , Muy still have thane-likc rna atfci ? Who soothe vrliite % lave& with ninefold pangs , l * hat bring them shrouds for piaistera } If we were cold us Stanley , "With hearts of Humber *» tone , And devils were lords in England , They Would not curse their own .

    * A viwn it a tpecif b of rock finh : one remove from entinf teA-weod . —&h
