F 11• MAJOR AND HIS WAGER.
tq
A smart young fellow of the name of Major
Reselv'd one day
That he would lay
A singularly interesting wager,
The bet which Mr. Major laid was this
(And certainly 'tis not so much amiss);
Six Overcoats were to be made
By different artistes in the trade.
The number of the Coats was not much heeded,
For, as it happen'd, they were, just then, needed.
The garments being made,
Were on a ta ale to be laid ;
And after that an umpire was to,ffs
On one-among the six,
And if the one selected from tha rest,
As being best,
Turn'd out to be the Coat of M. and SON,
The curious wager
Of Mr. Major
Was to be view'd as honourably won.
The umpire chosen was a Mr. Grainger,
A man whose taste
Is rightly placed,
And, I would add, to this a perfect stranger.
The time arrived, and Mr. Matthew Major
Was all agog to hear about hts wager.
The friends all met, the umpire came,
Straight to the coat-clad table,
And in a way most able,
Presided at the same.
The new-made Coats were thoroughly inspected,
A]d one, us choicest, was at length selected.
All in the room save Mr. Major,
Who laid the wager
Looked right straight down their noses;
For, as you'll guess,
The choicest dress
Was that obtained of MOSES.
