On a Pair of Dice
by Jonathan Swift
3971On a Pair of DiceJonathan Swift

We are little brethren twain,
Arbiters of loss and gain,
Many to our counters run,
Some are made, and some undone:
But men find it to their cost,
Few are made, but numbers lost.
Though we play them tricks forever,
Yet they always hope our favor.
