For War, or give me Chief Command
Of all his troops on sea and land!”
Arrived in town, his journey done,
He took a cab to Kensington,
Sir William Ramsay, honest man,
With kindly words to greet him ran.
“Put on,” he cried, “your cleanest shirt
And free your hands and face from dirt,
To-morrow you shall go with me
To meet His Gracious Majesty!”
