Summary
Come wealth or want, come good or ill
Let young and old accept their part
And bow before the Awful Will,
And bear it with an honest heart.
Who misses or who wins the prize –
Go, lose or conquer as you can.
But if you fail, or if you rise,
Be each, pray God, a gentleman.
W. M. Thackeray, cited by Samuel Smiles in Life and Labour or Characteristics of Men of Industry, Culture and Genius (1887)- Type
