The Rubáiyát of Bridge

by Carolyn Wells

To Them the Heart Convention did I show,
And with Mine Own Hand tried to make it go.
=But this is all the Wisdom that I reaped,—
"With more than Three Hearts, always lead the Low!"

For, Trump or No=Trump, though with all the Rules,
Of different Masters and of different Schools,
=I've played with Players of all Sorts,—but I
Have never beaten anything,—but Fools!
