Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the onp call'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot he sped away; His journey and his business o'er, He took the road for home once more. When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along hut very slow, Who when he saw that it was Jim, With rueful face thus question'd him : " Pray tell me friend how it can be, That you can walk so light and free, While I, wMi blisters on each tf.e, Have five-and-twenty mileb to go ?'' Quoth Jim, "The secret you shall know How I with ohbo and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes.
