COnsOlatOry Rhymes.

BY WHIST.
In ev'ry strife 'twiXt man and man,
That's happen'd since the world began,
Whichever party got defeated
Has duly sworn the winner cheated;
That by ialr-dealing their opposers,
And not themselves, had been the losers;
That nowadays to be winner
mans compelled to be sinner
But rather than commit one sin
They had preferred to lose than win.
IT'S consolation, Oh so sweet,
When smarting under defeat,
To publish to the world abroad
They'd rather lose than practice fraud
But that's oil bosh, for Pm afraid
The tricks belonging to the trade
Are used as much by one rs t'other-
Remember Esau and his brother.
'Tis strange-'tis passing strange, indeed,
That virtue never can succeed
IT'S strange, from palace down to cottage
Success must smell of Jacobs pottage!
IT'S strange that none except the base
Attain distinction, power, place!
Don't tell such yarns-don't talk of rings,
Or brides, or threats, for just such things
You always practsed when you could,
Although you seemed so very good.
Don't whine and lie and fret and fume
But patiently accept your doom.
However hard it is to bear
Don't, like BLACKBOARD, curse and swear
No matter how the issue tends,
Don't, don't, l beg you, damn your friends.
In old times did not Jacob 'scoopn
Ills brother with dish of soup?
