Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very (1)__________ of a modern Major-General
I've (2)______________________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I (3)________ the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm (4)________ (5)________ acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many (6)________________ facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at integral and (7)________________________ calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In (8)____________ I can floor (9)__________________________ parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (10)____________ Dows and Zoffanies
I know the (11)________________ chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of (12)__________ I've heard the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And whistle all the airs
From that infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And (13)________ you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (14)________ (15)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such (16)______________ as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know (17)________ of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (18)____________ Major-General
...
(One (19)________ time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at (20)__________ a (21)____________ rifle (22)________ a javelin
When (23)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And (24)________ I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a (25)____________ in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General has never (26)________ a horse!

For my military knowledge
Though I'm (27)____________ and adventury
Has only been brought down
To the (28)__________________ of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
