British folk lyric, early 19th century

(Epilogue to Tom Zaniello's The Cinema of Globalization: A Guide to Films About the New Economic Order Cornell University Press, 2007)

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from the common,
But lets the greater felon loose
Who steals the common from the goose

--British folk lyric, early 19th century
