Poem by Rudyard Kipling

Parade-Song of the Camp-Animals. 1. Elephants of the Gun-Teams

We lent to Alexander the strength of Hercules,        
The wisdom of our foreheads, the cunning of our knees.
We bowed our necks to service--they ne'er were loosed again,-- 
Make way there, way for the ten-foot teams
        Of the Forty-Pounder train!
