STRIKE WHILE THEIRON'S HOT,
By JOHN FRANCIS WALKER.


strike while the irons hot!
Strickland with a will,
He is no skillful smith
Who lets the iron chill.
Ere the iron harden. strike,
Shape il to what shape you like,
To the Scythe or knife or sword.
To slay or heal or NOV the sward
Strike while the irons hot,
Strike with hand and heart;
Quickly turn the bar,
And Smite on every part
Bring the sledge down with a swing.
Till it makes the anvil ring.
So great master workmen wrought
So struck the iron while twas hot.
So, when the time is ripe
To act or think or say,
The precious moment seize
Before it pass away.
Shape the action to your end,
As the smith the iron bends;
Let the word and let the thought
Promptly into deeds be wrought.
Strike while the irons hot,
Or do not strike at all;
Strokes the cold bar will break,
Not fashion, when they fall.
If you are slow in arm and brain.
All your labor will be vain.
The quick of head and quick of hand
May rise from serving to command.
