    Tho' we earn our bread, Tom,
    By the dirty pen,
    What we can we will be,
    Honest Englishmen.
    Do the work that's nearest
    Though it's dull at whiles,
    Helping, when we meet them,
    Lame dogs over stiles.

Every man's work read more

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious

shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

The best verse hasn't been rhymed yet,

The highest peak hasn't read more

The best verse hasn't been rhymed yet,
The best house hasn't been planned,
The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet,
The mightiest rivers aren't spanned;
Don't worry and fret, faint-hearted,
The chances have just begun
For the best jobs haven't been started,
The best work hasn't been done.
