| The Weak who fight or habit or disease | B |
| Birth chance or ignorance or awful wreak | A |
| Of some lost forbear who has drained the cup | C |
| Of passion and wild pleasure So To these | B |
| You strong you proud you conquerors stand up | C |
| - | |
| Touch glasses You shall never drink a glass | D |
| So salt of tears so bitter through and through | E |
| As they must drink who cannot hope to pass | D |
| Beyond their place of trial and of pain | F |
| Who cannot match their trifling strength with you | E |
| To these touch glasses and the glasses drain | F |

| They cannot build they never break the trail | G |
| No city rises out of their desires | H |
| They do the little task and dare not fail | G |
| For fear of little losses or they keep | I |
| The humble path and sit by humble fires | H |
| They know their places all these fighting Weak | A |
| - | |
| Yet what have you to show of tears and blood | J |
| That mates their blood and tears What shaft have you | E |
| To mark the dreadful spots where you have stood | K |
| That rises to the height of one poor stone | L |
| Proclaiming one poor triumph to the blue | E |
| Ah you have nothing Then stand up and own | L |
| - | |
| And yet you shall not pity them They bear | M |
| The stripe of some far coufage that to you | E |
| Is all unknown and you shall never wear | M |
| Such splendor as they bring to some last cup | C |
| You do not fight the desperate fight they do | E |
| Then to the Weak Touch glasses standing up | C |
