I 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, i When half way back he met poor Joe, ! Walking along but very slow, , ' Who wheii he saw that it was Jim, > i With rrueful fa«e thus question'd him : i " Pray teU me friend how it can be, ; That you can walk so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, ; Have five-and-twenty miles to go ?"
