Never on the winning side,
Always on the right—
Vanquished, this shall be our pride
In the world's despite.
Let the oily Pharisees
Purse their lips and rant,
Calm we face the Destinies:
Better “can't” than Cant.
Bravely drain, then fling away,
Break the cup of sorrow!
Courage! He who lost the day
May have won the morrow.
