Willie watching the game, It's vhim Of the
bards
moral to draw from The skrmish in cards,
Apdto fancy life finds m the trivial strife
some excellent hints for the battle of Life.
Wherc--whet the prize be arbbon or throne
The winner is he who can "go 1t alone
WEen great Gaeo proclaimed that the world
In regular orbit was Ccaselessly whrled,
And got-uot cOuyert-fDr all Of his pains,
Bl. only derision aud prison and chains,
"ItmOyes, for oil hUt!' was his On'wering tone,
For he knew, like the earth, he could "go it
alone"
When Koplor, with intellect, piercing affair."
Discovered the laws of each planet and star,
The doctors who ought to have laudel his name,
peridei his learning, and blaskene his fumo,
~ can watt" he replied "till ihe truth you shall
own;
For he felt in his heart he could ego it alone %
Alas for the player who idly depends
In the struggle of life, upon kindred or friends,
Whatever the value of blessings like these,
They can never atone for inglarious case
Nor comfort the co ward who finds with n groan.
That his cru,ches have left him to "go it alone "
There something no doubt, IN the hand you
may hOldF
IIoalL, family, cul.ure, viii beauty and gold,
The unfortunate owner H6y fairly regard,
As each in its way most excellent card;
Yet the gaHe may be lost, with all these for your
own,
Unless you've tho courage to go it alone !"
In battle or business whatever the game,
In law or in love, it's ever the same
In the struggle for power, or the scramble for
pclf,
tthis be your motto-"Rely on Yoursclfm
For, whether fhc prize be ribboa or throne,
The victor is be y 40 can "go il alone"
