RUB OR RUST. Idler, why lie down to die? Better rub than rust. Hark! the lark sings in the sky-- 'Die when die thou must! Day is waking, leaves are shaking, Better rub than rust.'
In the grave there's sleep enough-- 'Better rub than rust: Death perhaps is hunger-proof, Die when die thou must; Men are mowing, breezes blowing, Better rub than rust.'
He who will not work, shall want; Nought for nought is just-- Wont do, must do, when he can't; 'Better rub than rust. Bees are flying, sloth is dying, Better rub than rust.'
