After your houses and farmsteads …… sheep, …… from your cattle, after …… their reedbeds, after …… green briars and cut …… thorns, …… storehouse …… the dung of unyoked oxen -- the slave Summer, the duly-appointed labourer who will never rest from his toil, a hired man who has to return to the fields of the Land for his own sustenance!"
