TO A PAIR OF OLD BOOTS.

Fabewbll, old friends! I bid ye a sad adieu, Well I remember the day that ye were new;....; When ffcst your polished uppers caught my eye, And. t'emptedthus, I bought 5 ou with a sigh. v Since then we've seen some roughish times together, We've trudged about in many kinds of'weather--;; On dusty road, or on the muddy street, $> :_;_£-ai My trusty boots were ever on my.feet.,,, At times, well worn, yen let the water through, And stitches in your side had not a. few. Still I will not reproach you with the past, Your first offence is pardoned s'nd your last; 'Tis touching to recall, nowyou are old ; We ne'ercdid part, though yon were often soled. • Ybnr work is/ closed— all your elastic gone— -: , ; u; ... Your fronts are dull, where Day and Martin's shone: Your pegs, like old men'steeth, are growing loose; Sole after sole you've,had, all how no use ! Boots are bnt mortal, nor for ever wear:- I'll put yon by, and bu^- another pair; , , ; And as I cast you forth, my faithful friends. Consoled I am, I've made'ybu much amends. Let cynics laugh^-they are unfeeling brutes—. I drop a tear o'er my poor worn-out boots, $-..;. . a '■■ J- i , Lancelot Booth.
