TO THE LONDON STON.E4.
nail I curious relic of the olden time.
Thy Stone shall form the subject of a ditty ;
For thou dcaerv'st a tributary rhyme
As much as any thing in London's City.
Ali ! could'st thou speak, thou venerable Stone,
'What tales thou could'st unfold of-distant ages ;
For thou was fam'd before Saint Paul's was known,
And London thou host seen in all Its stages.
Say, ancient Stone, was ever London's scene
Equal at all to what it now discloses?
And has the City's traffic ever been
Dlstlnguish'.l by a HOLM like that of MOSES'?
And all the ages thou hest seen elapse
wshale naow discloses•
Have shown to MOSES' giant Mart no equal ;
MOSES and SON stand highest—and, perhaps,
They ever will do, did we know the sequel.
What diff'rent styles and fashions hast thou known
During a thousand years, or even longer ; 1
But say, was ever Dress like MOSES' shown--
Were ever Garments smarter made, or stronger ?
