    Be honest. Any nation would be proud to spring from an ancient warlord, and it is probably safe to say, they do.

        Come tell us how you slew,

        Them old Arabs two by two,

        Like the Zulu they had spears and bow and arrows!

        How bravely you faced one,

        With your sixteen-pounder gun!

        And you frightened them damn natives to the marrow!
