What  is the moral?  Who rides  may read
 When the night  is thick  and the tracks  are blind
 A friend  in a pinch  is a friend  indeed
 But a fool  to wait  for the laggard  behind
 Down to  Gehenna or up  to the throne
 He travels  the fastest  who travels  alone
 White hands cling to a tightened rein
Slipping  a spur  from a booted heel
Tenderest voices cry  "turn again"
Red  lips tarnish  the scabbarded steel
 High hopes  faint on a warm  hearth stone
 He travels  the fastest  who travels  alone
 One may fall but he falls by himself
Falls by himself  with himself  to blame
One  may attain and to him is  pelf
Loot of  the city in  gold or fame
 Plunder of earth  shall be all  his own
 Who travels  the fastest  and travels  alone
 Jam
One  may fall but he falls by  himself
Falls by himself  with himself  to blame
One  may attain and to him is  pelf
Loot of  the city in  gold or fame
 Plunder of earth  shall be all  his own
 Who travels  the fastest  and travels  alone
 Wherefore the more ye be holpen and stayed
Stayed  by a friend  in the hour  of toil
Sing  this heretical song  I have made
His  be the labor  and yours  be the spoil
 Win by his  aid and his aid  disown
 He travels  the fastest  who travels  alone...
