Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The rhyme links a military ambition directly with wanting danger. Its repeated opening gives both desires equal emphasis, making risk part of the appeal rather than a drawback. The words state that appetite without establishing whether the chant is sincere, mocking or performed for someone else.
