THE MAN

The man who cheats the Printer
out of Il singc cent,
VIII never reach the heavenly land
Where Old Elijah went.
He will not gain admission there,
BY devils he II be driven,
And made to loaf his time away
Outside the walls of Heaven.
Without man to greet him,
Without pleasant grin;
The Mppincs that he will reap
Will be almighty thin.
He'll have to cat the thistle
or sorrow and regret
He'll have to buck around right smalt
With rusScdness, 'you bet!'
