Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one 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 but 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 yon can wallc so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty miles to go 7" ' ■ Quoth Jim, *' The secret yon shaU know • How I with ease and oomfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes.
