Did you tackle that
that came
your way
With a resolute
TROUBLE
CHEERFUL?

and
Or hide your face
from the light of day

But
only
how
did
you
TAKEIT?
You are
beaten to
earth?
You are
beaten to
earth?
Well, well,
what¡¯s that?
Come up
with a
SMILING
face.
It¡¯s nothing against
you to fall down flat,
But to lie there ¨C
that¡¯s
DISGRACE.
The
harder
you¡¯re
thrown,
why
the
higher
you
bounce;
The
harder
you¡¯re
thrown,
why
the
higher
you
bounce;
Be proud
of your
blackened
eye!
It isn't the fact
that you¡¯re
licked that
COUNTS;
It¡¯s how
did you
fight
and
WHY?
And
though
yoube
doneto
death,
what
then?
And
though
yoube
doneto
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
If you played
your part in
the world
of men,
Death comes with a crawl,
or comes with a ,
And whether he¡¯s
slow or spry
POUNCE
It isn¡¯t the fact
that you¡¯re dead
that counts,
BUTONLY
how
did
you
die?
