Struggles and Triumphs, Additional Excerpt 561 · P. T. Barnum

Yet, no--_our_ hero would not look With smiles on such a cup; Throw out the wine--with water clear, Fill the pure crystal up. Then rise, and greet with deep respect, The courage he has shown, And drink to him who well deserves A seat on Fortune’s throne. Here’s health and luck to Barnum! An _Elba_ he has seen, And never may his map of life Display a _St. Helene_!
