Punch, November 12, 1859.


Riflemen both sides of the Border.

Drill, drill, London and Manchester,

Shoulder your Enfields and shoot in good order;

Drill, drill, Glasgow and Edinburgh;

Don’t be behind us, on your side the border.

Foreigners oft have said BRITAIN’S old fire is dead,

Let your array tell a different story:

Arm and make ready then, Squires, Shop, and Warehousemen,
