Remember Belcher's deathless name,

And how Tom Cribb his laurels won!

This maxim strongly I impress—

Let honesty your course direct,

And, tho' you can't command success,

You always may command respect.

If to my warning you're awake,

Whene'er your milling days may end,

A foe thro' life you'll never make,

And never will you lose a friend!
