Labour

,—the occupation of the Swinish Multitude, who are kept to it twelve hours a day, though it can hardly produce subsistence for a wife and family, as, considering the present enormous taxes, six or seven shillings a week is scarce sufficient to provide bread for one. This same labour also is held in the utmost contempt by the useless great, though at the same time they derive all their luxury and exclusive advantages from the exertions of the industrious poor. A hard-working man and a poor devil are synonimous terms in the language of Aristocracy.
