TAKE UP THE WHITE MAN'S MUSKET.

By David P. Page

[David P. Page, in Humanity.]

TAKE up the white man's musket, The deadliest ones ye make; Go drill your sons to use it, And then, for Jesus' sake, Send them with ammunition To hunt these heathen wild, Your new-caught, sullen people On whom God never smiled.

Take up the white man's cannon, The largest that ye cast, Go put it on your war ships, The strongest ones and fast— Speed them to the heathen countries, Seek out each farthest spot, And save these sullen people, With Bibles—and with shot.
