That terrible secret, poor lads in your way, You can't get the plunder and slip out of the pay, This is the duco that kicks up the fray. If a secret is good, you say make it known, If bad it surely should be trodden down; You think this is a point that cannot be blown. I'll hold you to this, .within an inch of your life ; If good, tell all you've ever told to your wife, Whether courtship, love Bcenss, battle or strife j If good, tell all you've ever told to your friend, If bad, it is high time you'should mend, Or look out for a stumper when you come to the end. If your principle's true, you should call to account The Lord of Creation from his holy mount, Because he 'd secrets which you can't surmount. Don't vote for a President, Senate, orCab-i-net, They have sessions secret, and you can't dab~in-it heartfelt pleasure.
