Million Birds

    Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
    The worst of all the Multitude
    Did something for the Common Good.

    Employ’d a Million of the Poor,
    And odious Pride a Million more...
    ... ...the very Poor
    Liv’d better than the Rich before...”

    Than anywhere else on earth.”
