English poem
Plain Tales from the Hills/The Arrest of Lieutenant Golightly
'I've forgotten the countersign,' sez 'e. 'Oh! You 'aye, 'ave you?' sez I. 'But I'm the Colonel,' sez 'e. 'Oh! You are, are you?' sez I. 'Colonel nor no Colonel, you waits 'ere till I'm relieved, an' the Sarjint reports on your ugly old mug. !' sez I.
An' s'help me soul, 'twas the Colonel after all! But I was a recruity then."
