A servant employ'd by a certain esquire Hal a magpie which ev'ry one used to admire! She bought it in spring, When a featherless thing. And soon taught the creature to talk and to sing. Jays, magpies, and parrots, and birds such as these, Say many strange things which are certain to please. But the magpie in question surpris'd ev'ry one, By talking concerning E. MOSES and SON. The fame of E. MOSES and SONS noted trade Was told by the squire, and heard by the mall; The servant had oft heard her master declare That he'd never heard tell of so 'vast as affair. And chancing to know one of MOSES'S rhymes, She set to work teaching the magpie betimes. 'Tis true, that she quoted the couplet amiss, But never mind that, the quotation was this : " The best Mart for clothes is The Dress Mart of MOSES." Well, the magpie, it seems, was a very apt bird, And utter'd the couplet the same as 'twas heard. And still does the magpie surprise Wry one By sounding the fame of E. MOSES and SON. 'Tis a very strange thing and I've many times thought If the servant has not been rewarded—she ought. No doubt when E. MOSES and SON are aware Of the " Maid and the Magpie," and all the affair, They'll present the good maid with a very warm boa, WhileOr w h a i l e N l i s a e g s g h ie e , Will utter the truth-telling rhyme with his bill ' ln ( a t y he P f l ea ease the f r r ' o d m ad t vheertiriscehmolecaeow:instil store, " The best Mart for clothes, is The Dress Mart of MOSES."
