Edgar Lee Masters (1868–1950).  Spoon River Anthology.  1916.

50. “Ace” Shaw


I NEVER saw any difference 
Between playing cards for money 
And selling real estate, 
Practicing law, banking, or anything else. 
For everything is chance.         5
Nevertheless 
Seest thou a man diligent in business? 
He shall stand before Kings!
