But you bet your soldier's shillin' 'e's the devil in a fight—
An' 'ed die to serve 'Er Majesty the Queen!
THE FILIPINO MAIDEN
Her father we've chased in the jungle,
And her brother is full of our lead;
Her uncles and cousins
In yellow half-dozens
We've tried to induce to be dead;
And while we have shot at their shadows,
They've done the same favor for us—
