The Draper’s man to the war is gone
In the foremost ranks you’ll find him,
His knapsack he has buckled on,
His tape yard left behind him.
“Hands so strong,” cried the warrior, fired,
“No woman’s work were made for;
“Such sinew now for war’s required,
“And more—will be well paid for!”
Punch. October 17, 1857.
