A little bread mdash a crust mdash a crumb mdashB
A little trust mdash a demijohn mdashB
Can keep the soul alive mdashB
Not portly mind but breathing mdash warm mdashB
Conscious mdash as old NapoleonC
The night before the CrownD

A modest lot mdash A fame petite mdashB
A brief Campaign of sting and sweetE

A Sailor's business is the shoreG
A Soldier's mdash balls Who asketh moreG
Must seek the neighboring lifeH
