Regardless Of those who may lose or
win,
Ofthosr who may work or play.
Ano the troops march steadily on my boy

There is work to be done, by the way,
my boy,
That YOU never can tread asaln;
Work for the loftiest mcn-
Work tor the plow, plane, and pen
Work for the hands and the brain.
The serpent will follow your steps my
boy,
To lay tor your feet snare;
And pleasure sits in her fairy bowers,
With garlands Of poppies and lotus
flowers
Enwlealhlng her golden hair.
Temptations will walk by the way my
boy,
Temptations without and within;
Aud spirits uf evil with robes ~ fair
As those which he angels in heaven
might wear,

And the sword that the fullest arm may
