Of Excellence
Not him who Did the Thing Before the Rest
The World rewards, but him who Does It Best.
The Race Horse wins a Prize worth Ten of that
The Pig receives for merely being Fat.
I F Errand-running be your Part,
Raise Errand-running to an Art.
The Difference 'twixt Art and Trade is plain:
Art strives for Excellence and Trade for Gain.
To find in Life a Richer Zest
Like Good Things well, but Fine Things best.
The World rewards, but him who Does It Best.
The Race Horse wins a Prize worth Ten of that
