NO GENTLEMAN SWEARS.
When you try to drive a tack. And the hammer with a smack Hits your thumb. I*rav be dumb : Remember you’re a gentleman. And say. “ Ala- ! Alack !’’ When tin- car you bail -boot - by. Though the con. lias heard your cry Do not, swear. You’ve saved a fare: Remember you’re a gentleman. And ",ecf|y murmur, When a leather covered phere SrniL voU square upon the ear. Do not kick, 1 1 ’s not a brick : Remember you’re a gentleman, And sigh, “ Oh dear! Oh. dear-” When you pay to see a mut, Through a deadly drama strut. Do not brook “ f t fie hook Remem) - ’r< a merit leman. ' 1 ’ ' 1 ' “ Tut tut !” So as i ’ '-'in trudge, J.Y,mi 1 tandard m-ver budge; At the worst You may hurst, n.,1 t he 1 1 you’ll die a gentleman Whose epitaph was “Fudge!”
