We felt a broadside round us battered,

We saw his buttons fiercely blown

About our heads, and piecemeal scattered!

The suit had split; the boy was bare

Of clothes designed to last for ages;

We gave him notice then and there—

This volume, so to speak, of pages!


SONG TO BE SUNG IN HAYMARKET ORCHESTRA DURING OVERTURE.—"Oh, why should we wait till to-morrow? See Queen of Manoa to-night!"
