TUE BOOT AND TUE MIRROR. A FABLE.
--as--

A LO3KINC-GLass—of Venice manufacture—
Of shining surface, and without a fracture,
With gilded frame, that glit teed to the eye,
And stand of—elegant rnahogalty—
By chance one morning barmn'd to be pot
Close to a eery kiyklypot We'd Boot—
Which with the well-dress'd Mirror seem'd to vie
In all the excellence of brilliancy.
The Glass indignantly the stranger ey'd
With looks of haughtiness. and upstart pride—
And in insulting language thus express'd
Its rage to see the Boot so finely dress'd.
" Presumptuous wretch ! how dar'st thou to spproult
Thus to contaminate nip by thy touch?
Thou low-bred creature—part of the offal
Of Neirgate Market—or of Leadenhall—
Whose parent liv'd upon vile grass or char—
Thou shocking remnant of a hide of—calf;
Who, by the cobbler's aid, for some one's foot,
Art metamorphos'd to a filthy boot."
" Stop." said the Root, " good neighbor, recoiled
That boots, as well as mirrors, can rtjfe:d•
Pray what were you, before your maker shoed
Produe'd yon from a hear of dirty sand 1
And that to quiet-411m alone is due
The value any body sets on von.—
It is to WARREN'S MOCking that I owe
The brilliancy awl lustre that I show—
And recommend you. friend, to mind this moral.
" Never again with yuar superiors quarrel."
