“Good-morning, good-morning!” the General said
When we met last week on our way to the line.
Now soldiers he smiled at are most of 'em dead,
we're cursing his staff for incompetent swine.
“He's a old card,” grunted Harry to Jack
As they up to Arras with rifle and pack.

But he for them both by his plan of attack.
