When other Boots and other Shoes, Have not been wearing well, And, by the language that you use, 'Tis plain there's been a sell, There may perhaps in such a scene, Some recollection be Of Boots, which have much better beer,- Then you'll remember me. When Soles grow thin, and Uppers light, Of Shoes you once did prize, And understandings are a sight, Unsightly to the eyes; When broken Boots shall wear a mask— A patch—you'll grieve to see, In such a moment I but ask, That you'll remember me— HEMIiS' %* STAR %* BOOT DEPOT, Top of Queen-street, Auckland.
