HENRY ROMEIKE, 106-110 SEVENTH AVE., N.Y. OPPORTUNITY By MAURICE SWITZER in The Rent S) (@ELORTONITY, thou vague, uncertain thing! Whose potency is preached, whose praises poets sing, T launch upon thy head this tirade of abu ‘Thou friend of Failure, thou ready-made Excuse, Thou specious, tinsel Idol, Wizard, Witch or Fay, To whom the wistful Dreamer and the Lazy, pray! Thou over-rated, false, delusive Golden Calf, At whom the practical and the courageous laugh! How much, O Opportunity, hast thou done For those whose deeds have Fame’s immortal chaplet won? Did not this Western World lay in the self-same spot For countless centuries ere Noah was begot? And had Columbus idly sat in slothful ease Or had he wooed thy favor on his bended knees, Instead of stiffening beneath frustration’s blow Tell me, would he have found this continem, or no? And what important part, if any, didst thou play, When old Ben Franklin, on that memorable day In June, with silken kite and iron key did wrest The great Electric Secret from the storm king's breast? And Bonaparte, in Corsica’s secluded islke— Didst thou always upon his enterprises smile? Or did he s. forth and with relentless lust, Resistless_will—and_ skill—grind kingdoms in the dust? And Watt? Did he await thy knock and idly dream Of wondrous, new and mighty engines run by steam? Or did he toil until his dream came true?—and Howe Lincoln—Morse—what won for them? their industry, or thou? So, scan the galaxy of illustrious dead Or living, O Opportunity, and hide thy head! Wherefore I sing to Will, to Judgment and to Pluck, And not to thee, for thou art merely twin to Luck!
