	Lord, let me keep a straight way in the path of honour--and a
	straight face in the presence of solumn asses.  Let me not truckle
	to the high, nor bulldoze the low; let me frolic with the jack and
	the joker and win the game.  Lead me unto truth and beauty and tell
	me her name.  Keep me sane but not too sane.  Let me not take myself
	too seriously, and grant more people to laugh with and fewer to
	laugh at.  Let me condemn no man because of his grammer and no woman
	on account of her morals, neither being responsible for either.
	Preserve my sense of humour and of values and proportions.  Let me
	be healthy while I live, but not live too long.  Which is about all
	for now, Lord.  Amen
