ROLL UP! ROLL UP!
Shake a leg, you hesilators! Get a move
on to the front j Don’t be hanging back or shirking while your fellows bear the brunt. Get a rifle, do your trifle Ih. the baby-killer built. Your a sport! then prove your mettle; here’s a noble game to play, You may miss your share of glory if yoit wait another day. Serve your nation, take your station By your comrades in the fray. You’re a Briton! help a nation that is fighting to exist. Crush the fiend of devastation and the
cursed mailed fist. Do not wonder, pause, and ponder, Do your duty—and enlist. When you read of German doings, What’s the use of sitting still. Don’t be like a putty Wilson; threats and adjectives afeT fill. Get to action—satisfaction— Strike k blow at Kaiser Bill. Chums afid schbolfnates, they have fallOp; ■ sooner would they die Uiafi yield. They have won the crown of glory, melt who wefS the Empire’s Shield. They have perished—friends you cher-. ished. * / Go; avenge them on the field. If you honor Truth and Justice; if you have the grit to fight, Now’s the chance to hurl defiance at the power of brutal might. While you’re waiting—hesitating— Men are dying for the right. —Kcriyain.
