ANEW NURSERY RHYME.
RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO ILL JUVENILES.
I'll sing you a ditty,
Both pretty and witty,
Of London's great City ;
For wide is its fame,
Aid mighty its name,
And all are to blame,
Who say not the same.
As we walk up and down
This wonderful town.
Oflasting renown,
This eye ever meets,
With ocular treats,
As it roved through the streets.
• We are led, unawares,
Through crescents and squares,
And wide thoroughfares,
Where the stranger repairs,
And eagerly stares,
At the mighty affairs.
There's the noted St. Paul,
With its dome and its ball,
And the Abbey and all,
And the Monument tall,
While all seem to bawl,
To the great and the small,
" Please to give us a call."
Whatever we view,
Presents something now,
And astonishing too,
For me and for you.
The houses of trade
Are proudly display'd.
But of eourse there are none,
Like the wonderful one
Of E. MOSES and SON.
The warehouse of MOSES,
In London discloses,
What no one supposes.
And all must admire,
Their charming attire,
Which is all you desire,
And all you require.
Their beautiful styles,
For smart juveniles.
Are approved of with smiles.
The Tunies with braid,
Which MOSES have made,
Have ever displayed,
Perfection in trade.
Then, as Christmas draws nigh,
May your guardians buy,
From MOSES' supply,
Which is never sold high.
Let them peep, let them pry,
Let them test, lot them try,
Not a fault will they spy,
Nor will any deny
That MOSES' out-vie
In the stock they have by
For a Christmas supply.
