Analysis of Ace Shaw
Edgar Lee Masters 1868 (Garnett) – 1950 (Elkins Park)
I never saw any difference
Between playing cards for money
And selling real estate,
Practicing law, banking, or anything else.
For everything is chance.
Nevertheless
Seest thou a man diligent in business?
He shall stand before Kings!
