In whist. every ''Ames to play
An intellectual game. but the only way
Is to Work at the science day by day.
Study with care. and If you desire
Use ''Newbold' ideas that all admire
To reach the pinnacle to which you aspire.
OF ''FishCy)" play be not accused.
For the rules and laws. when used,
VIII Vail" If not abused
Keep 10 the good old standard game.
And Foster the leads of American fame;
This should be all whist players aim.
20 tis the way of many We hear.
To criticise partner without a fear
That a Howell may reach the ear.
No doubt there are some would fain
In aiding to ''Wheeock'' the brain.
To few tricks to their gain.
Our Heron" though wingless hath a bright
And assists in making whist games by
AS frequent as Snow this year from the sky.
If all would strive improve in whist,
The game would probably not be so "Trist''
And goodly number get out of the mist.
Forget not TO Ward" the cards that fall,
Or, by nonattention. you might appGn
And Paine partner by not seeing his call.
This. inexcusable to his mind would be.
If the cards Leigh" out for you to see
Would show such play to have lost him three
When to the Street your attention is given
Or at any time from the game it is riven.
Then you had better For rest be driven,
To renew the vigor that in the past
Was yours; or. mayhap. if a Bum thou hast,
better score you will make at the last.
And if to this the Baker also adds wine.
For what more could player pine
When served by Butler in quick time
Who has answered every call made by you?
Then, you may Wright plays make, in lieu
OF the ones which raised such hue
The rules and laws by the pole" of our State
You had better secure. if not up to date
Coffin" to bury you will be your fate
II good plays you do not make So from
Whist lore gather knowledge, or CLAY you'll
become,
Before attaining the fame you might have won.
