The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Puck of Pook's Hill by Rudyard Kipling: She has ground her corn and paid her tax
Ever since Domesday Book.

And the dread ditch beside?

When Alfred's ships came by!
See you our pastures wide and lone,
