SUCCESS.
O ! God. what is a noble soul It ho Mia dead in doing right? The people hiss, if lie should fail— They crown him, if he's robed in might. ** Buccess ," *h all feed the slavish ore w Who trample on the pure and true. I only know— if pure and wiso, I only know— tls right or wrong To battle for the good rights cause Against battalions damn'd and strong ! "Suoceas " eh«ll make a slave a king ; Defeat, * rebel or a thing ! So wag* the world— the world is right ! There's scant suocess in doing good. For him whn enters in the tight . For love of hora« and brotherhood ; He's traitor 'mid the herd of drones Whobuild on human hearts their thrones. Rear, roir your gallows ! Spit x our scorn Frail Digmies of a djing rae« ! There groweth up a race new born With love of kin and royal grace. And they shall t-t-m < with spear in hand. The guardians of our Motherland. I wish it were ; yet, for a day The bad. succeed. But woe is me, And woo and * ant, acd nruol wrong, Shall come to thioe nnd come to the©. Until this race, that grows anaoe. Snail make this sad world smila in grace. So shout hurrah ! The weak shall die, And tyrants steeped in cruel wrong Shall, like foul-winged reptiles, fly Before the legions of the strong— •The strong of heart, the* pure, whose might Shall yet be rioter for the right.
