Without even needing explanation, these lines burn with the fact that if given the choice of dying or to continue living in enslavement, the outcome would be death. This has no happy tune. It in no way should be misunderstood as gratitude for the life which

He criticizes the proponents that say the working conditions are improving. The rate of pay increase is very insignificant to the cost of living.

The last 5 lines are a lot less vague than the others. He connects what he had said before to religious beliefs and God. He infers

There [was] no place for hard work, because there [was] no assurance that it [would] yield results; and consequently, no cultivation of the earth… and—worst of all—continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man solitary, poor,
