THE FABLE of the FARTHINGS ;
Or. a HINT from the MINT.
Two farthings of perfectly different dates
Met together—so fabulous story relates ;
The one had been coined in the reign of Queen Anne,
And the other was formed on Victoria's plan.
It appears that they met in a box which contains
The different coins of the different reigns :
When thus the old farthing saluted the new—
• " Good morning, Victoria, how do you do ?"
"Quite well," said the one with the Vic. in its flame,:
" And all in the nice order—hop, you're the same."
" Well, I feel rather dull, but I think for all that,
That you are so bright, we can have a nice chat."
" I thank you," said Vic, " for your compliments, Anne,
And I'll try to oblige you as well as I can ;
I've thought since I seen you what different scenes
Distinguished the reigns of the couple of Queens.
Queen Anne," said the newly-coined farthing, " would stare
At the wonderful change brought about here and there.
My owner one day, as he often had done,
Mad.' a call at
THE DRESS MART OF MOSES AND SON,
And chancing to drop from his pocket, I gazed,
Till really I e.-aild not help feeling amazed.
Such a warekouse I never expected to scan ;
There was nothing like that in the reign of Queen Anne.
The suit which my owner purchased there was ono
Which honoured the Warehouse of MOSES and SON ;
And I know not a Lord in the Court of Queen Anne,
Was ever attired on such a choice plan.
THE HATS AND THE BOOTS
Which were bought at the time,
Were novel, and stylish, and thoroughly prime.
You must own," said the Fadge, "that your own noble Queen
Swayed England when nothing so stylish was seen.
THE ELEGANT FURS
Which I also beheld
Could never be equalled, or never excelled :
The beautiful goods which I happened to scan
Would have highly delighted your mistress, Queen Anne ;
My wonder is this," said the new to the old,
" That the price is so low for the articles sold."
" I've been highly delighted to hear you," said Anne,
" And try to amuse in return, if I can ;
But pray don't expect me to do as you've done—
Toe had the advantage with MOSES and SON."
