The Rebels Surrender.
The other Rebels, when they heard
Of what to Tiger had occurred,
Surrendered everyone next day,
And threw down arms without delay.
The Bear said, "I don't want to keep
My blunderbuss—'twas much too cheap!"
The Leopard and the Crocodile
Threw theirs upon the growing pile.
Of loyalty each took the oath,
While Jumbo and Lord Rhino, both
Promoted Colonels by the King,
Kept watch that each his gun did bring.
And Colonel Jumbo winked his eye
To Colonel Rhino, standing by:
"We'd be Field Marshals soon, no fear,
If we'd Rebellions ev'ry year!"
