TO. MR. RICHARD TURNER,

ON HIS INCOMPARABLE BLACKING.

As'whett the'Sun's glbeam & dense
Resplendent lustre tar and near,
So shines your Blacking on my Shoes,
Unsullied, splendid, bright, and clear.
To Sul what planet can compare.
What looming- Star shines halt so bright
Fur niduente, heat, and light aro there,
Hail matchlesv iurce oflvorindless iigflt 1.
The blossom sprawls 'tacit to thee,
Parrot of Imes. a dowers, avid trait;
' And in tlic era, the Western Sea,
SP"Oiltacous ruffs to pay ther suit.
But cease, my Mime, this lofty strain, •
Nor sun, nor stars, nor MIS explore,
lint to the !mint revert again—.
FOr merit is recurred in store.

'Tis merit mores use non, to write,
Why should it languish on my tongue ?
For merit must be brought to light,
And he to whom it. does belong.
Tttlitsiitft, thy name on record stands,
High on the pinn.tcle of Fame,
- Thy lively genius then demands
Some little tribute to thy name.
Thy curious liquid, shining Black,
The rare invention of thy mind,
Was not explored in ages back. •
is Nor ever equall'il by tuanliind.
This Necking, when it is applied
To Roots or Shoes, such !naive yisadS,
That those who use it think with pride
On Tonsata, of Saint George's-dells
'Tis he, and he alone, that cats
This matchless composition make;
Second his great exertions then,
ltender'd so useful for your sake.
What, though the rich gay garments boast,
And costly preparations use,
Yet is their grandeur greatly lust,
Without this Blacking on their Shoat.
Urge, then, your foutslips to the place,
Of this renowned tents s ;
His habitation you may trace,
Dyjourneying to the London Road.
