Which of the following quotes best supports the theme?
“But, when begins my ditty, / Almost five hundred years ago, / To see townsfolk suffer so / From vermin, was a pity.”
“Into the street the Piper stept, / Smiling first a little smile, / As if he knew what magic slept / In his quiet pipe the while”
"There came into many a burgher's pate / A text which says, that heaven's Gate / Opes to the rich at as easy rate / As the needle's eye takes a camel in!”
“And on the great church-window painted / The same, to make the world acquainted / How their children were stolen away, / And there it stands to this very day.”
