THE ABSENT MAN AND THE HORSE-STEALER.
"MY breakfast !" the Man of Forgetfulness cried,
0, Yost breakiasr you've had, Sir !" his servant replied ;
ills Boots then with fretful impatience, he begs,
Your Boots (said the Lacqoey), are now on your legs !"
A leg he put forth, still in doubtful conjecture,
And saw, as he thought, the grins form of a spectre!
" What's here r—Superstition his mind now attackine—
Your shade, Zsaid the servant), in %enacts's JclSla,;king I"
" Don't tell me of Warren, of shadows, and Jet,
Aly boots (he exclaimed), are by Devils beset !"
Impress'd with this notion, lie sallied abroad, •
And leading his charger along the high road,
The Imp to dislodge all intent how best able,
Thu horse stipp'd the reins and return'd to the stable.
By dust the fine glow of the Jet was defae'd,
" Ile's gone!" he exclains'd, arid he vented a curse,
6, He's Bed ! (ha young devil my Boots that embrac'd,
• " But fled, d—n his bones, the foul fiend, with my horse !"
But calling a friend on, by Wreatuttes Jet Black
Ile-Intnin'd his Boots, 10, the Devil came back!
" The daimon" be cried, " of dismay and disaster,
Wbo pilfer'd my horse, is now come fur its Master !"
Essaying escape he now ran to explore
The Garret, in mental abstraction and high fright,
" Thank Ilzaysx ! (he exclaimed), I have gain'd the street cLior,"
Attempting his exit to make through the sky-light'.
His friend in good time pull'd him down by the heels,
His foibles with Ridicule's weapons attacking;
Since then nor alarm nor abstraction he feels,
Still pleas'd with the line glossy hue that reveals
The tiny Hurse•Stealer in WA CIES'S Jet Blacking !
