IF
If you can keep your weight when all the rest
are loosing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust your line when all men doubt you,
but make allowance for their duff line too,
If you can wait but not be tired of waiting and
as other teams high-five - don't deal in fives,
Or, when one down, don't give way to firing woods
into the ditch, nor bowling yours too wide.
If you can drink - and not make drink your master,
If you can think - and think right through a game,
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
and treat those two imposters just the same,
If you can bear to see the hands you've chosen
wasted by Leads and not made good by Twos,
Or watch the heads you gave your best to, broken,
and giving up the mat, not blow a fuse,
If you can go nine games without a win
and still believe the tenth won't be a loss,
and lose, and smile again at all the ribbing
and never breathe a bad word or a cuss,
If with nerve and sinew you can urge your woods
to hold their line long after they are gone,
and so hold on when there is nothing in you
except the will which says to them "Hold on",
If you can face the crowds and keep your bottle,
or walk the rinks - not lose the winning touch,
If neither Woolhope A nor Ledbury can hurt you,
If when you lose a count, it's not by much,
If you can match the unforgiving bias
with forty-five good feet of distance run,
yours is the Mat and everything that's on it
and what is more - you'll be a Skip my son.
