Topics: classic

By the Rev. Mr. C - ;     Hey, Giles! in what new garb art dresst?     For Lads like you methinks a bold one;     I'm glad to see thee so caresst;     But, hark ye! - don't despise your old one.     Thou'rt not the first by many, a Boy     Who've found abroad good friends to own 'em;     Then, in such Coats have shown their joy,     E'en their own Fathers have not known 'em.
