DON'T GIVE UP by ANONYMOUS

First Line: TWIXT FAILURE AND SUCCESS THE POINT'S SO FINE
Last Line: THERE IS NO FAILURE SAVE IN GIVING UP!
Subject(s): PERSEVERANCE;
'Twixt failure and success the point's so fine
Men sometimes know not when they touch the line,
Just when the pearl was waiting one more plunge,
How many a struggler has thrown up the sponge!
Then take this honey from the bitterest cup:
"There is no failure save in giving up!"
