Stand up, Pom-pey! You are on-ly half a sol-di-er yet. You have got your gun in your hand, but we must put your hel-met on be-sides to make you com-plete. Poor Pom-pey! he is as peace-ful and quiet as a lamb, and willing to do a-ny thing that he can which he is told to do. The chil-dren round him seem kind and fond of him, and I trust they will not keep him stand-ing long, be-cause, though it may a-muse them to see him play a trick or two, this pos-ture is not easy to him.
