 O'er rooted rock and rolling main, 
 
 " Far round the world and back again" 
 
 The Lion holds his sway. 
 Are riches found in field or mine, 
 Do pearls lie hid beneath the brine, 
 The great beast cries, " Behold, 'tis mine!" 
 
 And who shall say hira nay ? 
 
 Ah, who ? But hark I What threatening snore 
 Blends with his loud triumphant roar ? 
 What snorting challenge hurtles o'er 
 
 Black Afric's southern waste ? 
 The wild, th' uncouth, the cunning Boer, 
 His tusks yet red with Leo's gore, 
 Licks his fierce chops and grunts for more. 
 
 All drunken with the taste !

 With proud disdain the Lion eyes

 His whelps, observant, round him rise. 
 
 Threshing Impatient manes. 
 As to the tight the rivals leap 
 One vicious tusk cuts clean and deep — 
 Down NIchol's Nek reu streamlets creep. 
 
 Fresh from the Lion's veins. 
 
 Housed at the sight to furious Ire, 
 bach cublet springs to aid his sire ; 
 A glistening weU of fervid fire 
 
 Each angry eyeball seems ; • 
 Swift from each adolescent paw 
 Bursts forth the unexpected claw ;

 A flying foe that swift returns ; 
 
 In vain those massive jaws he churns. 
 
 With furious snorts and yelps. 
 Ha! Boar ! Dost find these dangerous foes ?

 Don't sow wild oats, for it does not pay ; 
 
 They will stick in your crop in an awkward way. 
 Your wild time sown, you will find— some day— 
 
 Man reaps but the crcp he sows. 
 You may put on airs, but they will not waft 
 O'er Life's broad stream a used-up craft 
 You must raise the wind or you'll soon drop aft, 
 And there lives no man can raise a draft 
 
 On the bank where the wild thyme grows.

 Mauser bullets, zipping— zipping— 
 Through each bush and bomb-proof whipping 
 Leaves and twiglets dripping— dripping ;— 
 
 Down, ye Dogs of War ! 
 Down, down, in ditches dank, 
 Mute and mouldy, rank on rank. 
 Shrill shrapnel shrieking to the flank, 
 
 Snapping behind, before ! 
 
 Like hooded cheetahs fierce they lie 
 Obedient to the leader's cry; 
 For he who lifts his head on high 
 
 May never lift it more : 
 One glance above that mound of mud — 
 A whistling whir — a click— a thud— 
 And Afric's soil drinks in his blood 
 
 With Afric's thirst for gore. 
 
No flashini^ falchions, ringing steel, 
 (Jr dasii of weapons fires their zeal; 
 No foaming steed, no crimson wheel. 
 
 The panoply of war. 
 Not theirs to taste the frightful glee 
 Of combat close-fought, knee to knee, 
 When lives were lost "right merrilie" 
 
 On battlefields of yore. 
 
 Obedience swift and courage stern, 
 Wild daring, caution, unconcern- 
 All these they need who fain would learn 
 
 The modern warrior's lore. 
 To skirt th' Eternal's trembling marge 
 Whilst unseen foes, afar, discharge 
 Swift darts that reck not mail nor targe, 
 
 Ah, truly, this Is war ! 
 
 "Up! up! and charge!" Loud rings the best •,- 
 Each Briton springs like hawk unjessed; — 
 A fearsome flood, o'er ramp and crest. 
 
 Sweeps with a mighty roar! 
 Sweeps with a roaring, thund'rous yell, 
 Deep as the boom of a monster bell. 
 Sounding the Transvaal's funeral knell ! 
 
 Bay on, ye Dogs of War !

 Their sinews strain, their eyeballs swell 
 As on they rush with purpose fell- 
 Wild, powder-blackened Imps of hell, 
 
 Hot on the Dutchmen's spoor I 
 Hurled by a ravenous lust to kill 
 At the sight of the comrades, silent, still, 
 Prone on that blistering, lead-swept hill. 
 
 Full many a bleeding score. 
 
 The figi * i fought;— the foeman flies;— 
 The fuming fury faints and dies;— 
 Sweet Mercy's angel swiftly hies 
 
 To spread her pinions o'er 
 The horrid field; as, to and fro. 
 Soothing each stricken friend and foe, 
 Britannia's thousands softly go;— 
 Bulldogs in fight— St. Bernards now;— 
 
 Honor them now the more. 
 
 Nay, honor the helpless, glorious dead; 
 Honor the men who fought and bled 
 For kin and country, hearth and bed — 
 
 The Briton and the Boer. 
 But a toast! a toast! a bumper toast 
 To the merciful men of a martial host— 
 The nation's pride, an empire's boast — 
 
 Britannia's Dogs of War I

 )AID the Great Pyramid to the Sphinx, 
 I can beat you at tlddle-de-wlnks 
 ' l^^ Just as easy as pie. 
 
 J^^'vi^ It Is horribly dry; 
 
 Come on, let us play for the drinks." 
 
 Said the Sphinx to the Great Pyramid, 
 "Your riches are jolly well hid; 
 But I'll race you to Cairo, 
 
 Or play you at Pharaoh, 
 For any old size of a bid." 
 
 Then the Pyramid answered, "My pile 
 I entrust to the banks of the Nile. 
 
 Though they've watered their stocks 
 
 I have plenty of rocks ; 
 But I never play faro,— it's vile I 
 
 Said the Sphinx to the Pyramid, "Pard, 
 Whisht 1 Here's that Canadian bard— 
 Who will spring his old joke 
 That my nose is stone broke;— 
 Though I'm sand to the neck, I am sca'red !" 
 
 And so the Sphinx quietly doses. 
 Like Pharaoh, and Aaron, and Moses. 
 Her friend does the same. 
 And that no-limit game 
 Is off, as the Sphinx' pretty nose is.

 O the glances—shy advances—

 With a swallow-like swing and sweep, 
 To the twiddle and toot of the fiddle and flute 
 
 And the piccolo's piercing peep! 
 
 Hang hereafter! Daft and dafter, 
 
 Leaping light from lip to lip, 
 Rings the rafter-shaking laughter, 
 
 Joyous joke and quizzing quip. 
 And morbid the mind with a bogie to borrow. - 
 
 The sparkling sport to spoil, — 
 Of a torpid to-morrow; a spectre of sorrow 
 
 And terrible tawdry toil !

 But he hadn't a tongue. 
 
 And was short of a longue. 
 So his songs were ail songue very doimondely.
