FROM A FLEMISH POEM OF THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY. 



Two words about the world we see,  
And naught but Mine and Thine they be.  
Ah! might we drive them forth and wide  
With us should rest and peace abide;  
All free, naught owned of goods and gear,  
By men and women though it were.  
Common to all all wheat and wine  
Over the seas and up the Rhine.  
No manslayer then the wide world o'er  
When Mine and Thine are known no more.  
Yea, God, well counseled for our health,  
Gave all this fleeting earthly wealth  
A common heritage to all,  
That men might feed them therewithal,  
And clothe their limbs and shoe their feet  
And live a simple life and sweet.  
But now so rageth greediness  
That each desireth nothing less  
Than all the world, and all his own;  
And all for him and him alone.
