HE didn't copy, his fame made

For that 10 the way 70 fan.
The fellow who wins from the frowning fates
Must mark out hs own clear trail
You may not reach to the heights OF fame
For few can climb high,
But al least you can play In the lively game
Whenever you want to try;
You may not get to the top Mt all
Nor capture renown or polf
But, win or lose. rise or fall
At least you can be yourself
