THE WAR in the PUNJAUB.
A WORD TO LORD GOUGH.
My Lord, you'will pardon a pun on the Punjaub,
When I say 'tie a bad job as well as a done job.
Napier, it appears, is to start as your peer,
Commanded to take the commandership here.
Gough must go of, so the rulers declare,
And another must settle the Sutlej affair.
This decision, my Lord, may be painful to you,
But I view it as proper—l certainly do.
Only think of the victims who fell by the Jhelum,
I fain would restore them, and raise them, and heal'em,
And view the brave captains who now are no more,
Who fought•their last fight on the Jhelum's red shore.
But, my bord, I forbear, and at once I would waive
A topic so touching—a subject so grave.
I was thinking, my Lord, that the subject is one
Which may give an idea to E. MOSES and SON.
Though you as Commander-in-Chief must come back
With something which greatly resembles the sack.
St'll. still Messrs. MOSES and SON are displa) ed
As the gallant Commanders-;n-Chief of the trade.
Encamped on a spot for which muttitudes search,
Commanding a view of St. Botolph's tall church.
E. MOSES and SON in a mercantile war
Have faced competition, and made him withdraw.
THE GARMENTS OF MOSES
Command admiration,
As samples of fashion, whatever our station.
And al who such articles wisely procure
A very commanding appearance ensure.
THE lIATS A ND THE BOOTS
Bought at M SSES depot
Command approbation wherever they go ;
And MOSES' command the respect of the buyer
Precisely the same as they do in attire.
While armies of ladies (excuse such a phrase),
Honour MOSES and SON with unlimited praise:
FURS, HOSIERY, SHAWLS,
And in fact all the rest,
Command vast support as the the ipest and best.
And thus Messrs. MOSES and SON are displayed
As Commanders-in-Chief in the h ittle of trade.
