So
‘
Beasts
of
England
’
was
heard
no
more
.
In
its
place
Minimus
,
the
poet
,
had
composed
another
song
which
began
:
Animal
Farm
,
Animal
Farm
,
Never
through
me
shalt
thou
come
to
harm
!
and
this
was
sung
every
Sunday
morning
after
the
hoisting
of
the
flag
.
But
somehow
neither
the
words
nor
the
tune
ever
seemed
to
the
animals
to
come
up
to
‘
Beasts
of
England
’
.
A
few
days
later
,
when
the
terror
caused
by
the
executions
had
died
down
,
some
of
the
animals
remembered
—
or
thought
they
remembered
—
that
the
Sixth
Commandment
decreed
"
No
animal
shall
kill
any
other
animal
.
"
And
though
no
one
cared
to
mention
it
in
the
hearing
of
the
pigs
or
the
dogs
,
it
was
felt
that
the
killings
which
had
taken
place
did
not
square
with
this
.
Clover
asked
Benjamin
to
read
her
the
Sixth
Commandment
,
and
when
Benjamin
,
as
usual
,
said
that
he
refused
to
meddle
in
such
matters
,
she
fetched
Muriel
.
Muriel
read
the
Commandment
for
her
.
It
ran
:
"
No
animal
shall
kill
any
other
animal
WITHOUT
CAUSE
.
"
Somehow
or
other
,
the
last
two
words
had
slipped
out
of
the
animals
’
memory
.
But
they
saw
now
that
the
Commandment
had
not
been
violated
;
for
clearly
there
was
good
reason
for
killing
the
traitors
who
had
leagued
themselves
with
Snowball
.
Throughout
the
year
the
animals
worked
even
harder
than
they
had
worked
in
the
previous
year
.
To
rebuild
the
windmill
,
with
walls
twice
as
thick
as
before
,
and
to
finish
it
by
the
appointed
date
,
together
with
the
regular
work
of
the
farm
,
was
a
tremendous
labour
.
There
were
times
when
it
seemed
to
the
animals
that
they
worked
longer
hours
and
fed
no
better
than
they
had
done
in
Jones
’
s
day
.
On
Sunday
mornings
Squealer
,
holding
down
a
long
strip
of
paper
with
his
trotter
,
would
read
out
to
them
lists
of
figures
proving
that
the
production
of
every
class
of
foodstuff
had
increased
by
two
hundred
per
cent
,
three
hundred
per
cent
,
or
five
hundred
per
cent
,
as
the
case
might
be
.
The
animals
saw
no
reason
to
disbelieve
him
,
especially
as
they
could
no
longer
remember
very
clearly
what
conditions
had
been
like
before
the
Rebellion
.
All
the
same
,
there
were
days
when
they
felt
that
they
would
sooner
have
had
less
figures
and
more
food
.
All
orders
were
now
issued
through
Squealer
or
one
of
the
other
pigs
.
Napoleon
himself
was
not
seen
in
public
as
often
as
once
in
a
fortnight
.
When
he
did
appear
,
he
was
attended
not
only
by
his
retinue
of
dogs
but
by
a
black
cockerel
who
marched
in
front
of
him
and
acted
as
a
kind
of
trumpeter
,
letting
out
a
loud
"
cock
-
a
-
doodle
-
doo
"
before
Napoleon
spoke
.
Even
in
the
farmhouse
,
it
was
said
,
Napoleon
inhabited
separate
apartments
from
the
others
.
He
took
his
meals
alone
,
with
two
dogs
to
wait
upon
him
,
and
always
ate
from
the
Crown
Derby
dinner
service
which
had
been
in
the
glass
cupboard
in
the
drawing
-
room
.
It
was
also
announced
that
the
gun
would
be
fired
every
year
on
Napoleon
’
s
birthday
,
as
well
as
on
the
other
two
anniversaries
.
Napoleon
was
now
never
spoken
of
simply
as
"
Napoleon
.
"
He
was
always
referred
to
in
formal
style
as
"
our
Leader
,
Comrade
Napoleon
,
"
and
this
pigs
liked
to
invent
for
him
such
titles
as
Father
of
All
Animals
,
Terror
of
Mankind
,
Protector
of
the
Sheep
-
fold
,
Ducklings
’
Friend
,
and
the
like
.
In
his
speeches
,
Squealer
would
talk
with
the
tears
rolling
down
his
cheeks
of
Napoleon
’
s
wisdom
the
goodness
of
his
heart
,
and
the
deep
love
he
bore
to
all
animals
everywhere
,
even
and
especially
the
unhappy
animals
who
still
lived
in
ignorance
and
slavery
on
other
farms
.
It
had
become
usual
to
give
Napoleon
the
credit
for
every
successful
achievement
and
every
stroke
of
good
fortune
.
You
would
often
hear
one
hen
remark
to
another
,
"
Under
the
guidance
of
our
Leader
,
Comrade
Napoleon
,
I
have
laid
five
eggs
in
six
days
"
;
or
two
cows
,
enjoying
a
drink
at
the
pool
,
would
exclaim
,
"
Thanks
to
the
leadership
of
Comrade
Napoleon
,
how
excellent
this
water
tastes
!
"
The
general
feeling
on
the
farm
was
well
expressed
in
a
poem
entitled
Comrade
Napoleon
,
which
was
composed
by
Minimus
and
which
ran
as
follows
:
Friend
of
fatherless
!
