THE POINTER'S EPITAPH.
Farewell, coot riiITTEN BY A SPOlt CS'MAN.
lies touched Tray, farewell ! thy mournful fate
my heart, and filled my eyes with water;
For oh, thy services were truly great,
And such as should be valued by a sporter.
Yes, thou had'st worth, and memory's pen has booked it,
And grieved am I to find that thou hest koeked it.
No more thotilt mark the fa! ed Bird aloft,
Nor watch while in my sporting bag I tuck it;
Tille thou* hest-done full many a time and oft,
Hut all is over—thou hast kicked the bucket.
• Another dog must show me what his nose is,
%When sporting in my shooting-coat from MOSES.
Ah. Tray, if thou couldst see thy master now,
Dressed in the shooting-coat which MOSES sold him,
Thotedst stare at the improvement, and allow
"Twat quite a pleasure even to behold him.
MOSES and SON thou'dst say have every reason
To claim renewed support throughout the season.
I never saw, I candidly confess,
Such admirable articles for sporting ;
Hundreds of sportsmen to obtain such dress,
To MOSES' noted Warehouse are resorting.
Better or cheaper coat ne'er honoured Britain,
And that is why this epitaph is written.
..„•11,11.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre-
•"l, Stock of 'uvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique,
"nil the worklinanship and materials are suck as to command untver-
tat aiiifirtibation, while at the same time the prices are unusually filo-
,terate.
