As Lords Their Labourers' Hire Delay Poem by Sir Walter Scott

As Lords Their Labourers' Hire Delay

Rating: 2.6


As lords their labourers' hire delay,
Fate quits our toil with hopes to come,
Which, if far short of present pay,
Still, owns a debt and names a sum.

Quit not the pledge, frail sufferer, then,
Although a distant date be given;
Despair is treason towards man,
And blasphemy to Heaven.
