If ancient tales say true, nor wrong these holy men.
The best prophet of the future is the past.
The world is a bundle of hay, Mankind are the asses that pull, Each tugs in a different way And the greatest of all is John Bull!
The drying up a single tear has more, of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore.
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
The busy have no time for tears.
