I thought it was something like: You'll never get rid of the Danes.
The Danegeld was a tax raised to pay tribute to the Viking raiders to save a land from being ravaged. We call it blackmail now.
II'll check, but it didn't work then and only made matters worse when they came back for more......
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

That is the last verse.
