Have courage. keep a merry heart
Sail on. and do your honest part
Though disappointments sting and smart
Let this thought joy to you imDart-

Would you be happy? Comrade. no.

Sail on, then, in the same old boat.

Like that in use above the skies
In paradise all things are fair
Each soul enjoys its honest share
Why not below?-it would be so
