Companions! fill your glasses round And drink a health to one Who has few coming after him, To do as he has done; Who made a fortune for himself, Made fortunes, too, for many, Yet wronged no bosom of a sigh, No pocket of a penny. Come! shout a gallant chorus, And make the glasses ring, Here's health and luck to Barnum! The Exhibition King. Who lured the Swedish Nightingale To Western woods to come? Who prosperous and happy made The life of little Thumb? Who oped Amusement's golden door So cheaply to the crowd, And taught Morality to smile On all HIS stage allowed? Come! shout a gallant chorus, Until the glasses ring-- Here's health and luck to Barnum! The Exhibition King. And when the sad reverses came, As come they may to all, Who stood a Hero, bold and true, Amid his fortune's fall? Who to the utmost yielded up What Honor could not keep, Then took the field of life again With courage calm and deep? Come! shout a gallant chorus, Until the glasses dance-- Here's health and luck to Barnum, The Napoleon of Finance Yet, no--OUR hero would not look With smiles on such a cup; Throw out the wine--with water clear, Fill the pure crystal up Then rise, and greet with deep respect, The courage he has shown, And drink to him who well deserves A seat on Fortune's throne. Here's health and luck to Barnum! An ELBA he has seen, And never may his map of life Display a ST HELENE! It is of interest to observe that the phrase "Napoleon of Finance," which has in recent years been applied to several Wall Street speculators, was first coined in honorable description of Phineas T. Barnum, because of his honesty as well as his signal success. CHAPTER XXXII. THE STORY OF "GRIZZLY ADAMS."
