The oldest there had never known
Such preparations to be shown;
Indeed, they'd never had, somehow,
A great Rebellion until now.
PREPARING FOR THE FRAY
Next day took place the Grand Review,
Before His Majesty,
The troops marched past in order true--
A splendid sight to see.
The speech he made filled all with pride,
As brave as brave could be:
"For Country and for King," he cried,
"On, on to victory!"
The Advance Guard.
Then marched they forth unto the fray
A battle fierce took place next day;
I'm told it was a fearful fight,
That lasted quite from morn till night.
