lis a vain and foolish creed
Argues brains are what We need,
Here below;

That is so,
Where that ancient creed WAS cast,

But. in this fast age" of man,
Brass i. just the thing that can
Put us through.
Tho the head be soft as pap"

Something nice,
And where'sr your pedals climb,
Biow your Jeiioms "all the time,

Wave your banner proudly out,
"Splice your line,"
Take Misfortune ION the hip"
Cast the bow rope. let 'er rip
