THIS LIFE.


This life Ia like game OF cards,
which each man has TO learn.
Each ehtlllies, cuts and deals the pack,
And each his trump doth turn. ~
Some turn high card to the top.
While others turn q low;
Some hold Q hand quito full of trumPs,
While others none can show.
When hearts are trumps, we play for love,
And pleasure fills the hour;
No thought of sorrow check our joys,
In Pleasures rosy bower. M
Eut when the hearts is on the top,
Onr cards at random play; N ag
And often when the hearts turn up,
Our game Is but q holiday. i; =
When diamonds chance to crow the pack
IT'S then men stake their gold;
Large sums are often lost and won.
BY gamblers young and old.
Intent on winning each doth watch,
His netghbor with an eagle eye;
In hope perhaps to get chance,
To cheat him on the sly. NIX
When clubs are trumps look out forrwar,
On ocean or on land;
For horrid dc Is are often done,
- When clubs are In the hand.
Last game of all u when the spade
Is turned by the hand OF Time;
1t is here than finishes up the game.
In every land and CLINE.
No matter how much each man wins,
~ or how much each man saves,
You will at last the spade turn up,
And dig the players grave. 81"
