Tam sim no Jones tau tshuav nws tus poj niam tshiab los ua kom nws lub tsev nyob twj ywm,
Thiab hied tawm mus rau Hurrum Hills saum lub Afghan ciam,
Mus zaum ntawm lub pob zeb nrog ib daim ntawv; tab sis nws tsis tau qhia nws
Nws tus poj niam ua haujlwm ntawm Txoj Kev Cai uas teev lub mais ntawm qhov tsis tas.
Thiab Hlub tau ua nws heev Sage, raws li Xwm ua nws ncaj ncees;
Yog li Cupid thiab Apollo txuas, ib daim heliograph, nkawm.
Thaum kaj ntug, hla Hurrum Hills, nws tau nthe hlo nws cov lus qhuab ntuas -
Thaum e'en, lub hnub qub tuag tau ris nws tus txiv lub tsev.
Nws tau ceeb toom nws tias nws qhov nce siab tau ntxias hluas hauv txoj hlua cab liab thiab kub,
Muaj ntau npaum li qhov tau nce kev sib tw ntawm tus laus;
Tab sis khaws nws cov lus ceeb toom cem rau (ua rau lub ditty hangs)
Hais tias cov lej snowy-haired Lothario, Lieutenant-General Bangs.
'Twas General Bangs, nrog Aide thiab Neeg
Ua Haujlwm, leej twg tittupped nyob rau hauv txoj kev,
Thaum lawv pom ib tug kos kos tempestuously ntawm kev ua si.
Lawv xav tias Border risings, thiab ntawm noj sacked thiab burnt -
Yog li ntawd, nres nres cov lus cia - thiab qhov no yog whey lawv kawm -
"Dash dot dot, dot, dot dash, dot dash dot" ob zaug. Tus General swore.
"Puas yog tus General Officer hais tias 'Nyob Zoo' ua ntej? "

"Tus ntsuj plig ntawm kuj zoo kawg thiab tus Tswv Wolseley, leej twg yog nyob rau ntawd mountaintop?"
Cov xibfwb uas tsis muaj npe nyob hauv ntawv yog lub suab hais lus; cov neeg ua haujlwm Gilded tau tseem,
Raws li, ruam nrog nrog penth-up zoo siab, lawv booked ntawd cov lus los ntawm lub toj;
Kom meej meej li lub caij ntuj sov hluav taws xob-flare, tus txiv qhov kev ceeb toom tau khiav tawm:
"Tsis txhob dance los yog caij nrog General Bangs - ib tug txiv neej feem ntau tsis dawb huv."
[Thaum kaj ntug, hla Hurrum Hills, nws tau nthe hlo nws cov lus qhuab ntuas -
Tab sis, kev hlub txawm dig muag, lub ntiaj teb nyob rau hauv loj lub qhov muag.]
Nrog damnature teev thiab khiav ceev nws helographed nws tus poj niam
Qee cov ntsiab lus nthuav dav ntawm General's private life.
Qhov tsis-muaj-phiaj-lub-lub yeej rog tsis hais lus, cov neeg ua haujlwm ci ntsa iab tseem tseem,
Thiab liab thiab puas tau redder loj hlob ntawm General General lub duav gill.
Thiab qhov no yog qhov nws hais thaum kawg (nws lub siab xav tsis): -
"Kuv xav tias peb twb muab khi rau ib lub vas xaum ntiag tug lawm tuaj lawm.
Txhua tus hwm rau Bangs, rau ne'er puas tau Jones tom qab ntawd paub
Los ntawm lo lus los yog ua hauj lwm uas tau nyeem tawm hauv qhov kev pab cuam.
Tab sis lub taleas yog nyob rau ntawm Frontier, thiab los ntawm Michni mus rau Mooltan
Lawv paub hais tias lub Tuamtsev muaj nuj nqis li "yog neeg siab phem tshaj plaws."
