Breathes there man with soul so dead
Who never to himself has said:
E'My trade OF late is getting bad,
Til try another ten-inch ad?'
If such there be, go mark him well
For him a bank account shall swell
And angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
A local line or adj displayed,
Cares more for rest and worthy gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends; letn rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
There let him lie in calm repose
Unsought, except by men he owes.
And when he dies go plant him deep,
That nought may break his dreamess sleep;
Where no rude clamors may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well.
And that the world may know it's loss
Place on his grave wreath of moss,
And on the headstone: "Here lies
A man who did not advertise"
