Songs of the Army of the Night.
"Yes, I used always to think
That you Russians knew
How to make the good drink
As none others do.
"And I thought moreover,
(Not with the epicures),
You might search the world over
For such Women as yours.
"In both these matters now
I perceive I was right,
And I really can't tell you how
Much I delight
"In my third (Thanks, another cup!)
Idea of the fun,
When your Country gets up
And follows the sun!
"And just as in Europe, see,
There's a Conqueror Nation,
So why not in Asia be
A like jubilation?
"Taught as well as organized,[2]
The eternal Coolie,
From being robbed and despised,
Takes to cutting throats duly!
