Two men a journey had to go (The one was Jim, the other Joe), The distance two score miles and ten, And fifty long miles back again. Away they sped with right good will. Through bush and brake, o'er plain and bill, But very soon the one caU'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 fur home once mora. "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 you can walk so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have fivg-and-twenty miles to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go; Dame Nature^ ■gifts I don't abuse, And H_sMT_.6:-2wayß makes my shews.
