Sir Henry Loch may hold the key

In Africa, but all must see

That Rhodes the handle hath fast grip on,

Shouts "Let her rip!"—despite Lord Ripon.

Cut is poor Lobengula's comb,

'Tis said that all roads lead to Rome.

The new Ring that old saw explodes;

Where'er we roam we're led to—Rhodes.

Whether or no this Great Panjandrum

(Who handles well the pen, sword, and drum)
