"A mi he " no WOuid enter " surrey VIII Htii
His worth will he guaged 10y the dress on his
body,
And never at all by the rarh Of his mind.
Defeat brave souls can ns'rr dismay:
straightforward still they press,
And with their failures pave the way
That leads up To success.
Economy will always pay:
The man who saves wise.
And those content win mush today
Will one day ear IT nee pie.
