The original was called The Beginnings, and it didn't say "When the Saxon began to hate."
It said "When the English began to hate."
Ponder why it was changed.

Thank you for that info. After doing some reading about Kipling I see what you are saying. Even though I may have misinterpreted the poem. That's the beauty of poetry. It's up to the reader to interpret it how they like.
