5 ÆäÀÌÁö - Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay: Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade — A breath can make them, as a breath has made ; But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
5 ÆäÀÌÁö - To new-found worlds, and wept for others' woe ; But for himself, in conscious virtue brave, He only wish'd for worlds beyond the grave. His lovely daughter, lovelier in her tears, The fond companion of his helpless years, Silent went next, neglectful of her charms, And left a lover's for a father's arms.
5 ÆäÀÌÁö - How ill exchanged are things like these for thee ! How do thy potions, with insidious joy, Diffuse their pleasures only to destroy ! Kingdoms by thee, to sickly greatness grown, Boast of a florid vigor not their own.
5 ÆäÀÌÁö - Even now, methinks, as pondering here I stand I see the rural virtues leave the land. Down where yon anchoring vessel spreads the sail, That idly waiting flaps with every gale, Downward they move, a melancholy band, Pass from the shore and darken all the strand.
47 ÆäÀÌÁö - Two different rates of wages and two different conditions of the labouring classes cannot permanently co-exist. One of two results appears to be inevitable : the Irish population must be raised towards the standard of the English or the English depressed towards that of the Irish. The question appears to your Committee to resolve itself into the simple point whether the wheat-fed population of Great Britain shall or shall not be supplanted by the potato-fed population of Ireland.
5 ÆäÀÌÁö - Downward they move — a melancholy band — Pass from the shore and darken all the strand. Contented toil and hospitable care And kind connubial tenderness are there, And piety with wishes placed above, And steady loyalty and faithful love.
5 ÆäÀÌÁö - Hung round the bowers, and fondly look'd their last, And took a long farewell, and wish'd in vain For seats like these beyond the western main, And shuddering still to face the distant deep, Return'd and wept, and still return'd to weep.
48 ÆäÀÌÁö - Ireland, two different rates of wages, and two different conditions of the labouring population, cannot permanently co-exist. One of two results appears to be inevitable — the Irish population must be raised towards the standard of the English, or the English depressed towards that of the Irish. The question whether an extensive plan of emigration shall or shall not be adopted, appears to your committee to resolve itself into...
48 ÆäÀÌÁö - What is your opinion of the capabilities of Ireland to become a very rich and florishing country? — My opinion is, that it has very great capabilities, that it might be a very rich and a very prosperous country, and that it might be richer in proportion than England, from its greater natural capabilities."— Fide Emigration Report, 1827.— Evidence of the Her.
23 ÆäÀÌÁö - Swift was right in saying two centuries ago that the man who makes two blades of grass or two ears of corn grow where only one grew before "does more good service to mankind than the whole race of politicians put together...
