Wrought of sterner stuff than clay;
And, unlike the drudges human,
Never weary night nor day;
Never sheddin" tears Of sorrow,
Never mourning friends untrue,
Never caring tor the morrow,
Never begging work to do.
Poverty brings no disaster.
Merrily | glide along,
For no thanllless, sorrid master
Ever seeks to do me wrong
No eNtortioners Cypress me.
No insulting words dread
I've no children to distress me
With unceasing cries for bread.
I'm of hardy form and feature,
For endurance framed Alright;
I'm not pale m;sfortune's creature
Doom'd life's battle here TO fight:
Mines a song Of cheerful measure,
And 10 Inducements flow
To DESTROY the throb Of pleasure
Which the poor SO seldom know.
In the hull hold my station,
With he wealth, ones of earth,
Who commend me to the nation
For economy and worth;
While unpaid the female labor,

Whi.e he sniin If f.iend or neighbor
Never for moment sIlone.
