Of Skill

In every Art and Craft and Play
He wins who learns the One Best Way.

That Carpenter is not the Best
Who makes More Chips than all the Rest.

T HE Able Fencer knows all Thrusts and Parries;
The Best Canoeman Paddles, Poles, and Carries.

How hard you Swing the Racket matters not
Unless you also rightly Place the Shot.

A CHEERFUL Heart and well-trained Hand
Will take a Man through any Land.
