Never has been such a cohort under one banner unrolled As surged to the ragged edged Arctic, urged by the arch tempter  Gold. NEVER HAS BEEN SUCH A COHORT UNDER ONE BANNER UNROLLED AS SURGED TO THE RAGGED EDGED ARCTIC URGED BY THE ARCH TEMPTER GOLD
bit of tin and horn; I'm a byword, I'm a plaything, I'm a jest; The virtuoso looks on me with scorn; But there's times when I am better than the best. Ask the stoker and the sailor of the sea; Ask the mucker and the hewer of the pine; Ask the herder of the plain, ask the gleaner of the grain-- There's a lowly, loving kingdom--and it's mine. The Trail of Ninety-Eight I. Gold! We leapt from our benches. Gold! We sprang from our stools. Gold! We wheeled in the furrow, fired with the faith of fools. Fearless, unfound, unfitted, far from the night and the cold, Heard we the clarion summons, followed the master-lure--Gold! Men from the sands of the Sunland; men from the woods of the West; Men from the farms and the cities, into the Northland we pressed. Graybeards and striplings and women, good men and bad men and bold, Leaving our homes and our loved ones, crying exultantly--"Gold!" Never was seen such an army, pitiful, futile, unfit; Never was seen such a spirit, manifold courage and grit.
