TIGER LILY.
TIGER LILY, STERN AND HAUGHTY,
(HARK! THE BUGLE BLOWS!)
MARCHES FORTH TO HURL DEFIANCE
AT HIS TREACHEROUS FOES.
NEITHER LANCE NOR LONG BOW BEARS HE,
NEITHER SHIELD NOR BUCKLER WEARS HE,
NAUGHT FOR DEATH OR DANGER CARES HE,
FIERCE HIS ANGER GLOWS.
TIGER LILY, STERN AND NAUGHTY,
(HAWK! THE TRUMPETS SOUND!)
BY HIS BRAVE AND ROYAL BEARING
SHALL HIS FOES CONFOUND.
FOES SO QUICKLY FAINT AND FEARING
THAT THEY FLEE HIS TAUNTS AND JEERING
WHEN THEY SEE HIM SWIFT APPEARING,
HEAR HIM TREAD THE GROUND.
FOXGLOVE.
SWEET MISTRESS FOXGLOVE, WHITHER AWAY?
HAVE YOU VISITS TO PAY
OR A DRIVE IN THE PARK WITH SWEET WILLIAM
TO-DAY?
FOR A FIVE O'CLOCK TEA YOU ARE DAINTILY
DRESSED?
LAUGH LIGHTLY AND JEST—
AND SMOTHER THAT SIGH WHEN YOU WELCOME
A GUEST.
