A Union soldier puts snuff in his nose and leans his rifle against his arm. Dead soldiers lie around him, and cannonballs
are in the air and on the ground.

| Notes |
Text: To make folks think you're bold and brave, / You swear your country you will save, / And fiercely charge upon her foes,
/ But first you'll stop to charge your nose; -- / Like the dog that lost the rabbit. / When taken short, -- as was his habit;
/ This application suits me fine, / That I can't be your Valentine.
