Answer and Explanation:

"Song to the Men of England" is a poem that calls for the people of England to turn against the oppression by which they were living.

Line 27 of this poem is "Why shake the chains ye wrought? Ye see" where Shelley shows that when readers are arrested for government oppression, they must swing their chains, making noise and annoying their oppressors, showing that they are not satisfied with the situation they are experiencing.
