Alerte, caballitos!

His visage is dark, his garb grotesque,

And he wears a touch of the picturesque,

A certain chic which possibly springs

From his horror of soap and of such-like things.

Alerte, caballitos!

To him there is little or no romance

In the mountain border of Spain and France;

But how he would wonder and stare, poor man,

At a moment's view of a Pickford's van.
