NATURE AND ART, or THE ESQUINIATIX
INDIANS.
Last Rotterdam Fair, like a Carnival gay,
Where Nature and Art form a splendid display,
Two Esquimau' Indians, to whom were unknown
The produce of aught save their own frigid zone,
Sojourn'd on the Rotter, in secluded care,
No sight yet obtain'd of the city or fair;
When over their bowls, in hilarity met,
An Amateur laid with another a bet,
That man in an unpolish'd state will desert
Fair Nature's high charms for attractions of Art ;
The Esquimau: Indians the bet to decide,
Each party agreed by their choice to abide.
Their Guardian's consent then obtain'd ;—to at bril
Fair scope, a large room was abundantly steed
With multiform produce of Nature and Art,
Attraction to draw and new pleasure impart;
Excluding, however, all mirrors, that serve
So often untutor'd attention to swerve.
The parties now met, and the two Esquimau:
Were brought from the store in full freedom to chew.
The room they rang'il o'er with apparent delight,
One charm, then another, perplexing the sight;
Unsteady, and giving the pref'rence to none,
Till full in their view their reflected forms shone,
By two then presum'd polisli'd mirrors reveard,
Aught else if they were front observance conceard
Here fled was the choice of the Indians. ." Alas !
Sly friend, you have lost; for • bright looking-glass
Is out of the question."—" Then yield your pursuits,"
The other replial, and two mirror-like boots—
Unanabush'd—amazentent the triumph while backing,
Of Art over Nature through Warren's Jet Blacking.

This easy-shining and brilliant BLACKING prepared by
ROBERT WARREN, 30, Strand, London; and sold in every
town in the kingdom.
