Lord Byron wrote an inflammatory ''Song for the Luddites'' in 1816. Its first stanza: ''As the Liberty lads o'er the sea/Bought their freedom, and cheaply, with blood,/So we, boys, we/Will die fighting, or live free,/And down with all kings but King Ludd!'' https://www.nytimes.com/1998/12/06/magazine/on-language-return-of-the-luddites.html
