[Here must I stay awhile, against my will]
[“Nation of Shopkeepers”—how base a name!]
[A whore that's gentle, mild, and sweet]
[Soldiers have fame, and harlots infamy]
[Hireling Soldier, Priest, and Woman]
[Many things flash across the town-bred mind]
[The Workers' Revolution must begin]
[Old folk, tho' weak, will serve you best: of late]
[Is idleness indeed so black a crime?]
[O the buzz and clack and clatter]
[The Century gallops, glorying itself]
[In the Great City, as 'twere Hell]
[One Cockney you despise; four million such]
[A bat-wing'd Cupid takes his flight]
[Stir and change from morn till night]

Blackberries
[If you believed, loud Sir, some decent part]
If
you believed, loud Sir, some decent part
Of all you argue for with so much art,
You would not more convince that black is white,
But wake some interest and respect you might.
