Tile world's a cycla anti the folks
Are miotiming but time cycle's spokes.
One man may seat a cyhit fair ,
1iut ten men canmiot keep her there.

While yet tile dew Is on the lawn ,
And ore 'tis dried from lmlli and plain ,
She rises many a time again.
A novice and her wheel soon part
Anti Pride Is Imunibied at the tnrt.
