On, what were the pride of the rich mans gold
Or the worth OF each untitled rood

Who toll for their daily food
Whatever of labor the rich man needs
From the poor mans hand must come
From the cradle rare of the new born heir

The poor man swayeth the settlers ak,
I'LL the forests far retire
ana The city springs on its phGnix wings
Ger the brands of the log house fire.
He bandeth the earth with iron roads.
And the steam-fed courser guides:
And iearlessly he drives the steeds Of the sea
Wherever the rich man rides
He tlls the plain till the rpene grain
Is safe IN the garner stored, g.. .tr
And with rifle and snare he hunteth the fare
hat smokes the rich mans board
He twineth the costly robes of pride,
And reareth the stately dome s-!
And cleaves from the clod the marble god
That stands in the rich ma s home
The gauds of beauty, the work of art,
Whatever your wealth hath bought
Nay-the very gold that your Golfers hold
The poor mans hand hath wrought.
Then health to the rude and thrifty poor,
And honor them evermore; 90.

As your fathers did before
And think the reward of la Dor is health

luxurious eating, generally give to their friends
