Ours be the task to enlighten the ignorant among our class, to dissipate<br />

and destroy the political and social superstitions of the enslaved<br />

masses and to hasten the coming day when, in the words of Joseph<br />

Brenan, the fearless patriot of ’48, all the world will maintain<br />

‘The Right Divine of Labour<br />

To be first of earthly things;<br />

That the Thinker and the Worker<br />

Are Manhood’s only Kings.’<br />

Transcribed by<br />

The James Connolly Society<br />
