   An abundant crop we now will have to feed both stock and man
   And all that's wanted to husband well its strength as best we can.

   3. You may plant in an early kind to dig out in July
   Between some heaps before they spread there leaves to give supply
   And then lay down the fine strong stalks for heat of summer's sun
   To play down strength upon the roots and then the work is done.

2. Rents Must Come Down

   1. You landlords you have your day of reward
   When you send of the peasants from the green sward
   And put on the cattle that paid you best rent
   Not caring how hearts were torn and bent.

   2. You Landlords used say you must grass your land
   And put from your farm the strong working hand
   The town will supply you in time of your need
