Percy Shelley should be living at this hour--and James Chandler, publishing this version of Shelley's "England in 1819" in Counter Punch, on April 21st, agrees. #Romanticism, #19thc

A version of Shelley's "England in 1819": "An old, bad, vain despised, and lying prez/ Cronies, sycophants, corrupt, and now in charge; / A tech czar, with a job chain-saw, at large; / A loony with a brain worm who now says:/ All the things that saved us will be banned--/ Flouride in our water, every good vaccine;/ Judges bought and sold, and courts unseen,/ To see that justice triumphs in the land/ In charge of schools, a monstrous wrestler's wife,/ Who's called AI "A 1"--a sauce for steak-/ And been herself 'instructed' how to break / The DOE, and higher ed, a vengeful strife--/Are graves from which some glorious phantom may/ Burst to illumine our tempestuous day."

What force or guile could not subdue, Thro’ many warlike ages, Is wrought now by a coward few For hireling traitors wages… —“Such a parcel of rogues in a nation” published in Johnson’s SCOTS MUSICAL MUSEUM vol 4 (1792), & later attributed to Robert Burns #BookwormSat digital.nls.uk/special-coll...

Such a parcel of rogues in a nation

Fareweel to a’ our Scottish fame,
Fareweel our ancient glory,
Fareweel even to the Scottish name,
Sae fam’d in martial story.
Now Sark rins o’er the Solway sands,
And Tweed rins to the ocean,
To mark where England’s province stands,
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro’ many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling traitors wages.
The English steel we could disdain,
Secure in valour’s station;
But English gold has been our bane,
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation.

O would, or I had seen the day
That Treason thus could sell us,
My auld grey head had lien in clay,
Wi’ Bruce and loyal Wallace.
But pith and power, till my last hour,
I’ll mak this declaration;
We’re bought and sold for English gold,
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
