Last year, Ay love, it was my hap Behind a grenadier to be, And, but he wore a hairy cap, No taller man, methinks, than me. Prince Albert and the queen, God t wot, (Be blessings on the glorious pair!) Before us passed, I saw them not, I only saw a cap of hair. Your orthodox historian puts In foremost rank the soldier thus. The red-coat bully tn his boots, That hides the march of men from us. He puts him there in foremost rank. You wonder at his cap of hair; You hear his saber's cursed clank, His spurs are jingling every where. Go to! I hate him and his trade. Who bade us so to cringe and bend, | And all God's peaceful people made To such as him subservient? Tell me what find we to admire In epaulets and scarlet coats. In men, because they load and fire. And know the art of cutting throats? —William Makepeace Thackeray.
