Show CAMPAIGNING WITH DE WET. (Boston Pilots . S . 'The Boers are trekking northward," "The bitter war is o'er." I "The singing, ringing Mauser, Will shock our ears no more." "We've scattered the commandos, 1 And closed them in a net." - t Alas! alas! they're counting Without the brave De Wet. Away by Morning's Spruit, ! He's bagged a troop and train: He marched his men to Llndley, 1 Then doubled back again." i Old Rundle's in a bundle. And Roberts must regret," Since Scotland's callow kilties Ran up against De Wet. " "De Wet 1s now at Kroonsd.it. "D Wet is at Valkrantz," "He's strong entrenched at Roodval And stopping our advance." The British generals blunder. The British public sweat. The hundred thousand Tommies, ' Bamboozled by De Wet. The "Royal Scottish Borderers," Were cornered by him last. The Inniskillings "want their beers," More frequent since he passed; i Upon the poor Canadians j He's made the "deadest set," N Their "hlooming commissariat" Was gobbled by De Wet. The Lord that hateth tyrannies Will nerve the Boer's arm. The Iord that raised the Maccabees Will save the cause from harm. What say ye, "Cooks and Marquises," The fun's not over yet. Come up and hear the Mauser's roar "Free concert by De Wet." J. B. D. |
