RAISING THE STANDARD OF REVOLT
Next morn a Scout the Camp alarms,
The Lion's soldiers fly to arms.
"The enemy advance!" he cries,
"And means to take you by surprise!"
In Leo's Camp, on Zootown plains,
The utmost consternation reigns.
In Leo's Camp.
This startling news the peaceful Camp
With preparation fills,
Resounding with the soldiers' tramp,
The noise of many drills.
The Sergeants shout, the General storms;
All round one sees and hears
The trying on of uniforms,
The clank of swords and spears.
The Fox pretended, by and by,
To be deaf, dumb and lame;
But Jacko, with a placard "Spy,"
Quite spoilt his little game.
