 The subtle ways of Destiny I know; In me she plays her game of "Give and Go."
 * Misfortune I receive in cash, but joy,

In drafts on Heaven or on the winds that blow.

I give and go, grim Destiny,—I play Upon this checker-board of Night and Day
 * The dark game with thee, but the day will come

When one will turn the Board the other way.
