This is a poem from Audlem Printer's calendar – thanks to Joe Sheldon.

Rudyard Kipling wrote "If----" in about 1895. Kipling said that, in writing the poem, he was inspired by the military actions of Leander Starr Jameson, leader of the failed Jameson Raid against the Transvaal Republic to overthrow the Boer Government of Paul Kruger.
