How Did You Die?

Did you tackle that trouble that your way
With resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day
With craven soul and fearful?
Oh a trouble s a ton, a troubles ounce,
Or trouble is what you make it,

But only how did you take itl
You beaten to earth? Well Well what IS that?
Come up with a smiling facet
It's nothing against you to fall down flat,
But to lie there-that's disgrace.
The harder thrown, why the higher you bounce,
Be proud of your blackened eye!
1t isn't the feet that you re licked that counts
It's low did you fight and why.
And though you be done to the death, what then?
If you battled the best you could
If you played your part in the world of men,
Why the Critic will call it good.

And whether he's slow spry,
