Notes |
Text: So you want to get on McLellan's staff; / The though is enough to make any one laugh-- / Why, can't you see, you diminutive
elf, / That your sword is almost as big as yourself? / Though you never will use it, / You should not abuse it, / And bang
it about as you do; / For a sword of that size, / A man of your size, / From its scabbard never yet drew.
