To Cut or Not to Cut

To cut or not to cut, that is the question; Whether 'tis not better in the end To let the chap who knows not worth, Sell the goods at cut-throat prices, or, Take up arms against this competition, And, by opposing, cut for cut, end it'

To cut-and by cutting put the other cutter Out of busin'ess-'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wished. To cut-to slashPerchance myself to get it in the neckAye, there's the. rub;for when one starts To meet the other fellow's prices, 'tis like.as Not he'll find he's up against it hard. To cut and slash is not to end confusion'

And the many evils the trade is pestered with; Nay, nay, Pauline; 'tis but the forerunner Of debts and mortgages such course portends. 'Tis well to get the price a thing is worth, And not to be bullied into selling it For what So-and-So will sell it for. Price-cutting doth seem unseemly, And fit for the man who knows not What his goods are worth, and who, ere long, By very str'ess of making vain comparison 'Twixt bank account and liabilities, Will make his exit from business.
