But if yu find that yu must go tew dispair, then put on aul the steam yu kan carry, and either bust or git thare az soon az possibel.
P.S.—When yu git thare, and hav had enuff ov it, just drop me a line, and i will see what kan be did for yu. But don't forgit one thing—that the road back iz 3 times az fur, and aul the way up hill besides.
XLVII.
TAKE IT EAZY.
Yes, mi dear feller, do take it eazy.
Don't fret, don't foam; yu kant take thought an be an inch bigger; yu kant ketch lightning, however yu try; then do take it eazy.
If yu would be ritch, only be good, and then take it eazy.
If yure lady-love is coy, do take it eazy, for like a wild colt, by and by will she cum and lay her hed in the halter.
Joys ever are fu, the evening ov yure daze may be long, and oil you will want for yure twilite lamp; then waste not in fury what will last yu till the wick burns out, if yu will only take it eazy.
