From little towns in a far land we came,

By little towns in a far land we sleep,
And trust the world we won for you to keep.

As the gates are mine to close,
And I set my house in order,'

The silliest woman can manage a clever man; but it needs a very clever woman to manage a fool!

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same.
