Might rise to riches and renown,
Thus turn society up side down.
Let paupers, therefore, swig away,
With gin and whiskey soak their clay,
For beggars, somebody says or sings,
When drunk as lords are rich as kings.
And if by temperance and frugality,
Shoe binding should be changed to quality,
The mounting mobocratic masses
May over-top US UPPER CLASSES.
