TO THE "BARD OF THE MINORIES."
Bard of the 111nories! Excuse my freedom
In writing Hoes to one so famed as you ;
Aid if you think it worth your while to read 'em,
An honour to my humble pen you'll do.
My motive in the lines which I present you,
Is simply this—l wish to compliment you.
I don't refer so much to skill in•verses,
As to your strict adherence to the fact ;
The trading story which your Muse rehearses
Is perfectly as Messrs. MOSES act.
Poets, 'tis said, are rather fond of fiction.
But your assertions challenge contradiction.
MOSES and SON, you say, possess great merit
As Artistes in the making of attire ;
And, Sir, my commendation they inherit,
For MOSES' dress I very much admire.
They have a claim (and every day they show it)
Not less than that asserted by their poet.
All that you say of MOSES I rely on,
Your compliments on style and strength are due,
There's not a garment that I fix my eye on,
But proves good quality and cheapness too.
Your verse is true, Sir , ay ! and se your prose is,
Nor have you ever overrated MOSES.
F.. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting-
enats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort
la the fit. E. M. and S. are convinced they will be much approved
of by the public.
