Answer 2

The expression scythe and spade stand for poor working farmers and labourers

• The question has been asked from the poem "Death the Leveller" by James Shirley.  
• Scythes and spades represent effective tools used in agriculture by poor people.
• Thus, be made equal in the dust with the poor crooked scythe and spade" means that kings are no different from poor people in death.  
• They are just the same until they are deceased, unless they are merely individuals who have performed deeds deserving of remembrance.
