I have work enough to do,
Strength enough to do it—
I have work and so have you,
So put your shoulder to it!


Some do half that I can do,
Some can do the double,
Some must rule for me and you,
To save ourselves the trouble!


Who would envy yonder man
Decorated thus, lad?
We are workingmen for him,
And he's an earl for us, lad!
