XIX.

There is young Kidglove of the “Greens,”
Who joined the ranks of Mars,
Seduced by the gay uniform,
But never dreamt of wars;
His field duties attendance
At picnics and excursions;
His laurels won at “Fêtes Champêtres,”
Or similar diversions.
The ball room proves his tactics;
Here his polite attention
And simpering smile obtain
“Most honourable mention.”
