TRY THE DRILL.
I
From my ledgers I came,With a system so shatter'd,
I couldn't take breakfast,
And cared not to dine;
When a friend in the Rifles
Said, “You look quite batter'd;
Try the drill, and then after
A glass of good wine.”
Chor. Try the drill, try the drill,
And then after
A glass of good wine.

II
I took his advice,And can now eat so hearty,
My cook looks upon me
With fear and amaze;
There's not a crumb left
When I go to a party,
And now at my door
You see no doctor's chaise.
Chor. Try the drill, &c.
