And I (3)__________ the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical

With many cheerful facts
About the square of the hypotenuse

In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (6)____________ Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of which 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 (7)________ you (8)__________ detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in (9)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

And surprises I'm more (12)________ at
And when I know precisely
What is (13)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I (14)________ more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery

(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has (16)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my (17)________________ 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
