Hang by the heels the Czar until he’d weep
His shoes full; load the sanguinary deep
With battleships until ’twould overwhelm
The seaboard cities of their monkey realm;
Encumber it with wrecks and floating carcasses!
ROOSEVELT:
That programme is more strenuous than Marcus’s—
Hanna, my master. He would never dare
To twist the tail of the fierce Russian bear.
I’m big enough to tackle any brute!
