Addendum

I know a youth who is, forsooth,

A very pretty little boy,

But he’s not a soldier ’cos he’s never been to war

And his gun is only a toy.

For your country would you fight, if a Russian came in sight?

Now give me your answer do.

I don’t know about the Queen, whom I never yet have seen,

But I’m sure that I’d fight for you.

Cradle song, Crimean war.

THE END.
