I awoke one morning and found myself famous.,
Gentleman-rankers out on the spree, damned from here to Eternity.,
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day
Naase Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.,

He deserves Paradise who makes his companions laugh.,
Ambition has but one reward for all :,
