And skip through the world just as blithe as yuu may,
When pleasure pursuing,

Did your shoes not rspleador so charming display ;

And shun ye, and flout ye,
When Tuarnta's Jet Blacking is out of the way !
If o'er the libation

Your companion:.—oh think of the jokes they will :ra:k,
As their liquor they quaff,
At the taste how they laugh,
That knows not the beauty of Tuaws4 Jet Vack
But be your shoes polished,
And soon are abolished
The jeers of companions, and flouts of the Miss,.
Than to Tummies shop hie,
And his Jet Blacking buy, •
Tor remember, no Blacking is equal to his!
