This dog won’t hunt. This horse won’t jump. You get the general drift. However, he keeps on trying,but the fire won’t burn, the kindling is wet,and the faint glow of the ember is weak and dying.He has no other choice then but to letIt go and take a nap on the ground there, lyingNext to her—for whom Dame Fortune has moreWoes and tribulations yet in store.
