I think this is a shortened version of P.B. Shelley
www.artofeurope.com/shelley/index.html
People of England wherefore plough
For the Lords who lay ye low ?
Wherefore weave with toil and care
The rich robes your tyrants wear?
The seeds ye sow another reaps
The wealth ye find, another heaps
The robes ye weave another wears
The arms ye forge another bears
Wherefore feed and clothe and save
From the cradle to the grave
These ungrateful drones who would
Drain your sweat, nay drink your blood
Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many they are few.Ye are many they are few.
