Walter Scott - As Lords Their Labourers` Hire Delay
Work rating: Low

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.
