v ALEN TINE'S VISIT;
OR, A LAUGH FOR THE LADIES.
rye a laughable tale for the ladies—What is it ?
A story well known as St. Valentine's visit.
And knowing 'tis one that the fair will discuss,
I've ventured to give it. The story runs thus :
The Salntship, whose season is now near at hand,
Made a call t'other day at St. Martin's-le•Grand ;
And every one knew whom it was, by-the-bye,
On account of the wink and the leer of his eye.
St. Valentine's dress was remarkably smart,
And the buttons that decked it were stamped with a heart.
On reaching the principal Post-office pile,
St. Valentine entered its doors with a smile,
.And thus he Inquired as a servant drew near,
" If you please is the Marquis of Clanricarde here ?
'
"Yes he is," said the page, as he stared very hard,
"If so," said St. Valentine, "take him mycard."
The card and the Clanricarde very soon met,
And the Marquis's stare I shall never forget.
`' You'll conduct him this way," said his Lordship to John,
And back came the man with the livery on.
I need not describe how the gentlemen met,
You're aware that they both understand etiquette.
" I've called, my Lord Marquis, and pardon me, pray,
Cmcerning yourself and St. Valentine's day.
Such thousands of love-letters then will be written,
By ladies and gentlemen all over Britain,
That a hundred new hands I am sure will be needed,
In order that business may not be impeded.
Your Lordship must know (said the match-malting one),
That the increase is owing to MOSES and SON.
I need not inform you that love's tender passion
Is often awakened by matters of fashion;
, Many thousands of ladies feel love's warming fire
Through fist of all noticing
STYLISH ATTIRE
.Yea, many a lady I've proved has been won
By the form-decking raiment of MOSES and SON.
a For instance, I knew a Miss Dorothy Dote,
Who first learned to love on account of a coat ;
" The fit was so true, and the style was Fo smart,
That the fair lest her heart through MOSES' famed Mart.
I knew a ease even stranger than that,
Where Patty the pretty was won by
A HAT.
'Twas MOSES and SON'S, and the Hat was so natty,
So stylish and good, that it overcame Patty ;
Insomuch as the pretty one oftentimes said
That the owner, she knew, had a sensible head.
TIIE BOOTS MADE BY MOSES,
Which fit so eiact,
Like loadstones, are oftentimes known to attract.
And many strange things I have known come to pass,
With a ond-looaing boot and a good-looking lass.
With regard to the opposite sex 'tis the same,
ladies' dress very often enkindles the flame.
MOSES' FURS,
Se attractive in style to beholders,
Warm
gentlemeq's bosoms as well as fair shoulders.
/'any thousands on both sides are constantly smitten,
And galores of epistles are now being written."
" ' ill aware," said his. Lordship, " that much has been done
'n Matters of love by E. MOSES and SON.
And, Sir, I will carry out all that you say,
With regard to more hands on St. Valentine's I)ay."
}IA ere Saint Valentine bowed, as he bid his adieu,
, A efd so did the Postmaster-General, too.
