"A GALLANT GENTLEMAN"
123

That's wot it is; an' when yeh sort it out,
Shuttin' yer ears to orl the sounds o' strife—
The shouts, the cheers, the curses—'oo kin doubt
The claims uv women: mother, sweet'eart, wife?
An' 'oo's to 'ear our soljers' dyin' wish?
An' 'oo's to 'eed?... "Look after Rose... Mafeesh!"
