Off-topic, but I really hate this poem - it's a geopolitical equivalent of "Why don't they eat cakes instead?"

Many small and weak nations are barely clinging on for survival by any means necessary - they cannot afford to not pay Dane-geld, and I think they'd appreciate not being mocked as a weakling by someone born to the British Empire.

Kipling is a "Dane" pretending that how his country got that way is because of its moral superiority and toughness, which makes it's own demands for geld justified by the burden of maintaining its flawless character.
