We British Workmen

We British workmen, so they say,

Are free; and who can doubt it?

For, if we do not like our pay,
We’re free—to go without it.
Unlike the helpless negro slave.
Our tyrant-driven brother,
If one employer prove a knave,
We’re free—to find another.
H. S. Salt
Labour Leader, 26 May, 1894
