THE TArLoR,s DREAM.

A tailor, thought man Of upright dealing
True. but for lying--honest but for stealing,
Did fall one day extremely sick by chance,
And on the sudden was In wondrous trance;
The fends Of hell mastering In fearful manner,
OF sundry coour'd silks displayd n hammer
Which he had stolen, and wish'd, as they did tell,
That he might find it all one day in hell.
The man, affrighted with this apparition,
Upon recovery grew great precisiaa; .f
He boughta bible Of the best translation, ..
Aud in his life be show'd great reformation;
He walked mannerly, he talked meekly,
He heard three lectures and two sermons weekly;
He vow'd to shun all company unruIy, tinI
And in bis speech he used no oath but truly;
And zealously to keep the sabbath's rest,
His meat for that dny on the eve was drest;
And lest the custom which he had to steal
Might cause him sometimes TO forget his zeal.
He gives his lourneymnn q special charge,
That ifthe stuff, allowance being large,
He found his fingers were to ilch inclined.
Bid him 10 have the banner in his mind.
This done Il scant can tell the rest for nughter)
cnptaiD ofa ship came three days after.
And brought three yards of velvet three quarters
To make Venitians down below the garters.
He, that precisely knew what was enough,
Soon slipt aside three quarters oftho stuf:
His man, espying 1t, said in derision "
Nlnster, remember how you saw the vision
Peace, knave! quoth he, did not see one rag
ofsuch colour'd silk in al the flag.
