Pay for oppression
Not living for later
but together, social
and respected
The king loathes it
He takes palaces and farmsteads
His taxation breaks
the compliance, cold
causes hunger
Threat of war
Propaganda points the way:
there is a saviour, a Father
of the Nation, he protects
the refugees from Antwerp
and the trade, he will
drive out tyranny
that beheads dukes and puts
believers at the stake, that makes
the country pay for the oppression
Tiende Penning (Tenth Penny, 10% sales tax), introduced by Spain in 1571 in the Netherlands
Grindelwald fluctuation: coldest period of the Little Ice Age in Western Europe (AD 1560-1600)
Collection "Mosaic virus"
