He never would be able;
He might as well go hang himself

But Cyrus was valiant man,
A fellow OF decision,
And needed not their mocking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his bravest efforts fail,
And yet his mind was stable;
He wan t the man to break his heart,
Because he broke the Gable
