when he was told,?In person--came to see;?"When well," said he, "oh, hero bold,?Sir Hippo you shall be!"
With Surgeon's skill and wifely care?He soon recovered quite;?Now there's no soldier anywhere?Like Sir John Hippo, Knight.

The King's Return.
With clash of brass and drums that banged,?With flags that flew and bells that clanged,?They celebrated, as you see,?The King's return from victory.
Rejoicings reigned on every hand,?The noise was great, the music grand;?They bought up all the butchers' shops,?Gave everyone free steaks and chops.
Buns, nuts and cakes were given away,?The children had a holiday;?His people came from far and nigh?To see King Leo riding by.
The cavalry were there, of course,?And everyone next day was hoarse;?For 'twas not often they could see?A King return from victory.
[Illustration: RETURN OF THE KING TO HIS CAPITAL]
Next day the King an order gave?That he would distribute?His medals to his soldiers brave,?Both cavalry and foot.
The medals were the very best--?Some putty and some tin;?The King unto each hero's breast?Affixed them with a pin.
Home Again.
Now ended is the strife and fray,?Dispersed the Rebel train;?There's joy in Jumbo Hall to-day,?For Daddy's home again.
Watch Mamma Jumbo's beaming face?To see him safe and sound,?Of battle showing not a trace,?Although with glory crowned.
'Tis good once more to see him curl?His big trunk with delight,?And toss in air his baby girl?Before she says good-night.
While Tommy vows, when he is tall,?He'll fight with might and main;?Oh, all is joy at Jumbo Hall?Now Daddy's home again.
