REBEL SONS.
Inscribed to a certain section of Cape Colonists who are said to be disloyal: — Have you heard 'em tell the story, Have you heard 'em sing the strain, That the ancient, honoured glory Of Britannia's on the wane; That her star is surely sinking, That her sun has trnir set. And her pale-faced moon's a-blinkingr— Bat, my boys, Bhe's n*t done yet. Yes, we've heard 'em tell the story, And we've heard the Dutchmen say That Britannia's had her gloryThat the Lion's had his day; Better look afield, my brothers. Ere yon point the Traitors' guns, Or the Lord be with poor mothers , Looking for their Eebel Sons. —Johannesburg Star.
