There*Were Seven Men.
There were seven men, and one I s
was a fool, 6
And one was the boss of a eoun- 1
try school: < 1
The third was a ?>->n with a won- h
droits brain. \
The fourth was a crook, the tifih o
insane.
The sixth was a preacher, the sev- (.
entb a knave,
And they all were bound for the p
selfsame grave. , Hl
The fool, as Time wltirled( its ^
weary way, w
lie came professor, honored aud n
K">: tt
The kchoolmasier worked from
bis low position p
And became a national politician;
The brainy chap lost his ntind, the ^
crook
Became a priest, with his scowi
and Book-?
And the crazy man recovered his
mind
While the knave took to saving
hie fellow-kind; w
And only one stuck to his trade
of the seven? S|
The preaoher kept preaching of w
Hell and Heaven.
There were seven men, there were
seven minds, M
There were seven humans of seven
kinds; vi
And none who had known in their 01
early days
These men who traveled their l9
seven ways, v Cl
Would have thought that the
crook would a parson be. p
Or the knave would take up hu- BO
inanity
But you never can tell?and the
moral is here; * ^
Don't accept things always as they
"PPe",
For tinder rhe gris le and skin
