Question

THE MAN HE KILLED

Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin !
But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.

I shot him dead because -
Because he was my foe,
Just so:my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although

He thought he'd list, perhaps,
Off-hand like - just as I -
Was out of work - had sold his traps
No other reason why.

Yes; quaint and curious war is !
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat, if met where any bar is,
Or help to half a crown.
