And to those who happen to cross my way,

From the facts I’ve gained, I often say:

If you want to win in life’s great game,

It is well to stop when burns the flame!

For the one who dares with fire to play,

Will in burnt-out ash be swept away!

For the Law is this: ’Tis clearly writ—

And the fate of fools all witness it:

Sweep hard!

Dirt discard!
