Truth. July 15. 1886.


The Jolly Young Rifleman.

(A Roundelay for Ranelagh.)

Did you ever hear tell of a jolly young Rifleman,

Who as Adonis his charms used to try?

He curled his side-locks with such skill and dexterity,

Winning each heart and enchanting each eye.

He stood so straight, he marched so steadily,

The Volunteers came at his call so readily,
