For when Teb’s battle was over, and thousands there were slayed,
He reached his port in safety, with few on the grand parade;
But the Tenth had another hero, quite right for the General’s praise,
A thick and thin thoro’ Briton, his name was Trooper Blaze;
He had never insulted a woman, and scattered unhorsed, alone,
He had saved the life of a pal of his, and managed to save his own.
The General spoke out bravely as ever a General can:—
For once the swell and Private could speak as man to man;
And across the lonely desert, at the close of the General’s praise,
Came a shout of wonder that the swell could talk to Trooper Blaze.
