5—2 68 CHAPTER SEVEN. ' The rich men for the rich, and leave no flaw. ' And what's the poor man's part ? to drudge and sweat * For food and shelter. Does the poor man get ' Bare food and shelter ? — praties, cabin, rags. ' Now fling him out to famish — or he drags * His weary body to that gaol and grave ' The Poorhouse ; — he must live and die a slave, ' Toil, starve, and suffer, creep, and crouch, and crawl, ' Be cursed and trampled, and submit to all ' Without one murmur, one rebellious trace... 1 Among the marks of misery on his face !' Each tongue around old Oona feared to tell The great misfortune, worse than yet befell In all her length of journey. When they tried To move her — ' Would they take her life V she cried ; At which it rested, hap what happen might. And scarcely one, in truth, prepared for flight ; Imprudence, anger, fatalism, despair, And vis inertia', kept them as they were ; ' God and the world will see it, ' — so they said, ' Let all the wrong be on the doer's head !' In early morning twilight, raw and chill, Damp vapours brooding on the barren hill, Through miles of mire in steady grave array Threescore well-arm'd police pursue their way ; Each tall and bearded man a rifle swings, And under each greatcoat a bayonet clings ; The Sheriff on his sturdy cob astride Talks with the chief, who marches by their side, And, creeping on behind them, Paudeen Dhu Pretends his needful duty much to rue.
