Are sailing in the same old boat.
Do never comrade. sit and fret
About vour losses or your debt

On others. too. as well as you,

Have courage, keep a merry heart
Sail on, and do your honest part
Though dsappOintments sting and smart
Let this thought Joy to you impart-
That others. too well as you,
