But now! They will not find it pleasant,
When once this huge touch-hole I touch.
Mighty Cæsar! I guess they won't like it;
Great Scott! won't it just raise a din?
And don't they just wish they could spike it
Before we begin?
The fun of it is, they have furnished
The filling themselves, unaware.
The shot they've cast, polished, and burnished,
The powder were prompt to prepare.
