Marching on the King's Capital

Next morn, with victory elate, "Why should we wait or hesitate? We'll march at once, without delay, Upon the Capital!" cried they.

"That's capital!" a Monkey said, (But he at once was sent to bed!) But, all the same, it was agreed, So General Tiger took the lead.

With flying flags and drums rat-tan The Rebels' onward march began. Cried Tiger, "Leoville one mile!" "That's nothing!" said the Crocodile.

But Wolf, who kept a good look-out, Saw Private Whiskers out on scout. "Ha, ha," cried he, "I've caught a spy— That means promotion by and by!"

"Great victory!" said Wolf, with pride, And showed his prize with rapture; "Well done, indeed," the Tiger cried, "A most important capture!"
