"COME BACK AGAIN AND ALL SHALL BE FORGIVEN."
Backers delight to bark and bite and lustily to shout When beaten, "Now then, stewards! Do your duty! Rub him out!" But when, they have their money on and beat the festive books, IThey discover all the virtues in the men they swore were "crooks!" IWhey'they lose they_ call the jockey "thief"—demand his degradation; Then he. wins, and—if they're on it— they forget their indignation. 'Twas ever thus,; and will.be still — the money always speaks, The winning backer always cheers — the loser always "squeaks."
—-Leaded.
