you can take it for granted that you're sweated; act on that

to the best of your ability, or you'll never rise in the world.

If you go to see a show on the nod you'll be found a comfortable seat

in a good place; but if you pay the chances are the ticket clerk

will tell you a lie, and you'll have to hustle for standing room.

The man that doesn't ante gets the best of this world;

anything he'll stand is good enough for the man that pays.

If you try to be too sharp you'll get into gaol sooner or later;
