"A Fool Lies Here..."

Now it is not good
For the Christian’s health
To hustle the Aryan brown,
For the Christian riles
And the Aryan smiles
And he wearth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight
Is tombstone white
With the name of the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear,
A fool lies here
Who tried to hustle the East
."

— Rudyard Kipling
