Explore "The 'Eathen" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The 'eathen in 'is blindness bows down to wood an' stone; / 'E don't obey no orders unless they is 'is own; / 'E keeps 'is side-arms awful: 'e leaves 'em all about, / An' then comes up the regiment an' pokes the 'eathen out.
All along o' dirtiness, all along o' mess, / All along o' doin' things rather-more-or-less, / All along of abby-nay, kul, an' hazar-ho, * / Mind you keep your rifle an' yourself jus' so!
