Poem by Rudyard Kipling

Parade-Song of the Camp-Animals. 2. Gun-Bullocks

   Those heroes in their harnesses avoid a cannon-ball,
   And what they know of powder upsets them one and all;
   Then we come into action and tug the guns again,-- 
   Make way there, way for the twenty yoke 
            Of the Forty-Pounder train!

1. The First Chantey
2. The Last of the Light Brigade
3. «Limits and Renewals». 1932. 12. The Threshold
4. Lady Geraldine's Hardship
5. Merrow Down
