TIIE TOWER G U N S;
11 OR, THE MOTION OF THE MONSTERS.
Again imagination leads her aid,
In kind sliVestions to the bard of trade ;
And under her instructions I describe
A recent meeting of the cannon tribe.
You'll understand that at a certain hour,
I trode the purlieus of our ancient Tower;
When strange to tell, the subjects of my ditty,
Were holding a discussion in committee.
Vast numbers of the Guns were here assembled,
And es they spoke the far-famed fortress trembled.
So down I sat, and down I took the speeches,
And underneath you'll understand what each is.
" I rise," said Fulminator, " with a notion
Of calling notice to a special motion ;
Nor will your mighty Gunships take amiss
My well-meant proposition—which is this t
That Messrs. MOSES' Mart of wide repute
Be
-1- duly honoured with a grand salute.'
2"-t sure," said he, " en looking at their
CLOTHES,
411111 acquiesce in what I now propose.
147,, brother inmates of this noted garrison,
you know are far beyond comparisou.
,rbp "tiu behold the articles admit
beauty of their style, and make, and fit."
Just " you've rightly reckoned,
And . said Thunderbolt,
T
willingly your motion will I second.
'he Mart at which Fro pointing with my muzzle,
To competition is a downright puzzle.
THE HATS OF MOSES
In the way they suit,
A!le equally deserting a salute.
These valued tiles are such as no one shuns,
..° get Your touch-holes ready, brotker Guns."
„., cI ; bg," said Fury," to suppoi t the motion,
r have often entertained the notion.
..8d when I see the worth of
MOSES' BOOTS,
I think they merit fifty grand salutes.
be Hoots and Shoes of MOSES, firmly wrought,
-,arse, like the Tower Guns, a good report."
That's perfectly correct," said Cannon Bellow,
"The Mart of MOSES never had its fellow
And this, you know, applies to
MOSES' FUR,

So. fire away, and in;lteaglorious stir."
" Bravo," said Waterloo, " prepare your nosey,
And don't forget
THE HOSIERY OF MOSES.
You know the Hosiery is good and cheap,
give it a sally, boys, let no one sleep."
•-Fhe motion being put, at once was carried.
AThe nd I to see the issue, gladly tarried.
:ill.nhgdssoa:l3:oo:Enase:ced, when all around,

e the Guns in grand salutes were firing,
warehouse were attiring;
And often was the obse ration Ade—
That MOSES' are the " Two Great Guns" of trade.
