Threatens regulars with death
Only soul beneath our Flag
Ever made mans death his brag-
By so much his fame supplants

Now the strenuous life he pleads
Cheering till the Nation bleeds,
Wants the world to run with gore,
Freedoms banner floating DER.
But, when Beers would seek our love.

Seeks. like England. TO do wrongs for:
Mu?d rOuS Taylor he supports.
Urging him 10 hold his forts
Anarchy O'errideS the laws
When its Yellow Teddy'S cause
For. YOU see. he Graves hot blood.
Not his country'S peace and good;
Civil service he holds dear.
Yet he calmly stands to cheer
While Mckinley knocks it down.
Lining the Imperial crown;
Like kid. he loves fuss.
Even looks carniyorous.
