The Brown Man's Burden
Pile on the Brown Man's Burden!
And if ye rouse his hate,
Meet his old-fashioned reasons
With Maxims up to date,
With shells and Dum-Dum bullets
A hundred times plain
The Brown Man's loss must never
Imply the White Man's gain.
Labouchere, Henry. "Brown Man's Burden." As quoted in J. Ellis, The Social History of the Machine Gun. New York: Pantheon, 1975.
