[recto:] A joyous Christmas [verso:] Self Reliance. / How happy is he born / and taught / That serveth not / another's will, / Whose armour is his / honest thought, / And simple truth his / utmost skill! / This man is freed from / servile bands / Of hope to rise, or / fear to fall; / Lord of himself, though not / of lands, / And having nothing / yet hath All. / Sir Henry W
