Now it is not good for the Christian's health :To hustle the Aryan brown, For the Christian riles and the Aryan smiles, and :it weareth the Christian down. And the end of the fight is a tombstone white :With the name of the late deceased— And the epitaph drear: "A fool lies here :Who tried to hustle the East."
