FINE FEATHERS MAKE FINE BIRDS.
Such is the title, and I can't help paying
A due respect to Rich a truthful saying ;
For certainly in every day's excursion,
A thousand proofs establish this assertion.
The sentiment which such a phrase discloses,
Is singularly suitable to MOSES.
MOSES and SON have certainly display'd
The "finest feathers" ever known in trade,
"Feathers of faultless fashion," such as these
(Neat, smart, and stylish) cannot fail to please.
They decorate whoever may be wearing.
And add a grace where nature's rather sparing.
The dress of MOSES hides defects, if any,
And where the charms are few, it makes them many.
And many a person is pronounced a beauty,
Merely because these tailors do their duty.
Then imitate the birds in autumn weatber,
And prudently assume a change of feather.
MOSES and SON solicit your inspection
Of autumn articles in rare perfection.
Which stand nurivalled, and which prove the words
Wihch here I quote—" Fine feathers make fine birds.
