Kipling adiht

Se Englisca wrītere Rudyard Kipling bewrāt lēoþ mid naman Dane-Geld.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;

So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,

You will find it better policy to say: --

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,

No matter how trifling the cost;

For the end of that game is oppression and shame,

And the nation that pays it is lost!"
