THE TOWER G U N S;
OR. THE MOTION OF THE MONSTERS.
Again imagination leads her aid,
In kind suggestions 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;
then strange to tell, the subjects of my ditty,
Were holding a discussion in committee.
Vast numbers of the Guns were here assembled,
And as 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
;ply well-meant proposition—which is this
That Messrs. MOSES' Mart of wide repute
Be duly honoured with a grand salute.'
I'm sure," said ke, " en looking at their
CLOTHES,
You'll acquiesce in what I now propose.
Yes, brother inmates of this noted garrison,
MOSES you know are far beyond comparison.
All who behold the articles admit
The beauty of their style, and make, and fit."
"Just so," said Thunderbolt, "you've rightly reetoned,
And willingly your motion will I second.
The Mart at which I m pointing with my muzzle,
To competition is a downright puzzle.
THE HATS OF MOSES
In the way they suit,
Are equally deserving a salute.
These valued tiles are such as no one shuns,
So get your touch-holes ready, brother Guns."
" I beg," said Fury," to support the motion,
For I have often entertained the notion.
And when I see the worth of
MOSES' BOOTS,
I think they merit fifty grand salutes.
The Boots and Shoes of MORES, firmly wrought,
Cause, like the Tower Guns, a good report."
" That's perfectly correct," said Cannon Bellow,
" The Mart of NI OSES never had its fellow
And this, you know, applies to
MOSES' FUR,
Se, fire away, and make a glorious stir."
.1 Bravo," said Waterloo, " prepare your noses,
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."
The motion being put, at once was carried.
And I to see the issue, gladly tarried.
The firing soon commenced, when all around,
The City echoed with the moving sound ;
And while the Guns in grand salutes were firing,
Thousands at MOSES' Warehouse were attiring ;
And often was the observation made—
That MOSES' are the " Two Great Guns" of trade.
