There is no time to waste on you
You’re just a wretched peasant
An ungrateful serf to loath:
Your impertinence deserves
Fifty lashes from my whip.

Take him away and lock him up
In the darkest cell and if he dares

Long enough to share it with any one.

This piece of land he calls his own
Is mine to do with as I please
Sell it: loan it or give it away :
Even his worthless life is mine
To sell: loan to do it away!

Ha! ha! ha! Freedom he says:
The poor wretch wants freedom —
