Classic Poem

[ Triumphal song of the Roman army ]

?A thousand, a thousand, a thousand,
?A thousand, a thousand, a thousand,
?We, with one warrior, have slain!
A thousand, a thousand, a thousand, a thousand,
Sing a thousand, over again!
?Soho!—let us sing
?Long life to our King,
Who knocked over a thousand so fine.
?Soho!—let us roar,
?He has given us more
?Red gallons of gore
Than all Syria can furnish of wine!
