It works just fine with the Saxon. Don't butcher Kipling.

I am not a Saxon and I have begun to hate.

Well yeah, Saxons don't exist anymore, but my point was it still resonates strongly in its original form. It's a historical artefact. Your version says more about your feelings sure, but Rudyard's original is transcendent because it's so old, and talks of events even older.

At least credit the original author. Some folks wouldn't know you altered a classic Kipling poem.
