. CORONATION;
On, A NEW VIEW OF THE PROCESSION.
IS COUNTRYMAN, after much shoving and squeezing,
-Lk. Was plac'd, even zt last, in a dolorous plight;
Mnpite of entre.:ty, remonatranze, and teasing,
koreft of all hope of obtaining a sight,
By heads imercepted of close-wedg'd beholders,
Our Yeoman's squat form scarcely reaching their shoulders!
" The Pig a voil:r market has found, without doubt."
" Then pray, Mister Pig," cried his neighbour, "get out."
Ilodge with hard jostling and pressure retreated,
Insulted, chagrin'd, and his object defeated.
Next I lodge's attention a balcony drew,
Where grac'd by bright Boots,—each a mirror to view,—
An Amateur sat.—" I shaU now zee the zight,"
Cried Hodge, on the Jet as he gazl with delight;
And kept, in determin'd resolve, to his station,
::till eyeing the Boot with minute observation.
The pageant advanc'd—while the purpose to suit
Of high-polish'd mirrors—was seen in each Boot
The gorgeous procession—exactly display'd,
As if by Camera tbscura pourtray'd !
When Hodge got safe home what a dissonant clatter
Was rabid by inquirers—" I nought o' the matter
had known, he replied," as to what came to pass,
Unless vor two Boots that wur made of bright glass,
Zuch scroutlging wur theare, and zuch bustle and strife,
The Boots though reflected the whole to the life !"
" What news," ask'd his landlord next morning," from town?"
And Hodge the new fashion of glass-boots still backing—.
" Not so," said the Squire—but of equal renown
"The luminous splendour of Warren's .1,,t Blacking I"
This Easy Shining and Brilliant BLACKING Prepared by
