Rejoicings in the Rebel Camp
Were great indeed that night;
Each tent hung out a Chinese lamp
To celebrate the fight.
They sang and shouted, o'er and o'er,
Until their throats were tired;
They let off fireworks by the score,
A "feu de joie" was fired.
When Wolf, who's not a marksman good,
Shot holes in Bear's new hat,
Bear never even said, "You should
Apologise for that!"
In short, they would, as like as not,
Have kept it up till day;
Had someone not found out they'd shot
Their powder all away.
