"Yes, I used always to think
 * That you Russians knew

How to make the good drink
 * As none others do.

"And I thought moreover,
 * (Not with the epicures),

You might search the world over
 * For such Women as yours.

"In both these matters now
 * I perceive I was right,

And I really can't tell you how
 * Much I delight

"In my third (Thanks, another cup!)
 * Idea of the fun,

When your Country gets up
 * And follows the sun!

"And just as in Europe, see,
 * There's a Conqueror Nation,

So why not in Asia be
 * A like jubilation?

"Taught as well as organized,
 * The eternal Coolie,

From being robbed and despised,
 * Takes to cutting throats duly!
