THE MAID AND MAGPIE
A TALE.
A servant cmploy'd by a certain esquire
llai a magpie which ev'ry one used to admire!
She bought it in spring,
When a featherless thing.
And soon taught the creature to talk and to sing.
Jays, magpies, and parrots, and birds such as these,
Say many strange things which are certain to please.
But the magpie in question surpris'd ev'ry one,
By talking concerning E. MOSES and SON.
The fame of E. MOSES and SONS noted trade
Was told by the squire, and heard by the maid ;
The servant had oft heard her master declare
That he'd never heard tell of so vast as affair.
And chancing to know one of MOSES'S rhymes.
She set to work teaching the magpie betimes.
'Tis true, that she quoted the couplet amiss,
But never mind that, the quotation was this :
" The best Mart for clothes is
The Dress Mart of MOSES."
Well, the magpie, it seems, was a very apt bird,
And utter'd the couplet the same as 'twas heard.
And still does the magpie surprise ev'ry one
By sounding the fame of E. MOSES and SON.
'Tis a very strange thing and I've many times thought
If the servant has not been rewarded—she ought.
No doubt when E. MOSES and SON are aware
Of the " Maid and the Magpie," and all the affair,
They'll present the good maid with a very warm boa,
Or what else she may please from their choice winter store,
While " Maggie" (the feather'd advertisement), still
Will utter the truth-telling rhyme with his bill
" The best Mart for clothes, is
The press Mart of MOSES."
