A NEW SHAVER;
OR, SECOND EXPERIMENT.

A MONKEY, who shaving first tried on himself,
lA. And cutting his jowl, the mischievous elf
Resolv'd to embrace opportunity pat,
And operate next on the beard of the Cat ! •
The place of a mitror adapted to suit,
There stood lathe room then a high-polish'd Bpot,
In which Warren's Jet, of pre-eminent hue,
Llisplay'd the fine forms of reflection to view..
Now seizing poor l'uss, to the bright Boot he bore her,
The Monkey, her shadow then gleaming before her,
And answer'd her struggles with chatter and blows,
Her phis while be soap'd from her ears to her nose !

The Cat. thus essa;ing in vain at resistance,
And mewing, in pitiful plaint. for assistance,
With wonder the same operation now saw
I'erfortu'd in, or shewn by the Jet of eclat.
In front of the Boot then, as if to explain it,
The mahod of shaving, Ikaw best to attain it,
The act interspersing with grin and grimace,
The Ape clear'd the Cat of each hair on her face ;
And strange though it seems, yet the frolicsome elf •
Was much more successful with Puss than himself.
The shaver adroitly concluding his scraping,—
The
shaved with the loss of her whiskers escaping!—
The Monkey in triumph the parlour now sought,
• And Cat and bright Boot w a company brought,
Who saw what this barber had then been about,
And haird his ow, witis a rapturous shout
Of mirthful surprise : the strange incident backing
The merits of Worras assporrikCd Blacking!
This tam Shining and Brilliant BLACKING Prepared by
