And every thing looks dev'lish queer;
Bad times these, sir, sad lack of wealth; Must hope for better;--Sir, your health!" Then added, with inquiring face, "_Come to take Orders in this place_?" "Yes, sir, I am," replied the priest: "With that intent I came at least." "Ha! ha! I knew it very well; We business-men can others tell: Often before I've seen your face, Though memory can't recal the place-- Ah! now I have it; head of mine! _You travel in the button line_?" "Begging your pardon, sir, I fear Some error has arisen here; You have mista'en my trade divine, But, sir, the worldly loss is mine-- _I travel in a much worse line_." THE GIPSY'S HOME. A GLEE. Sung by Messrs. PYNE, NELSON, Miss WITHAM, and Master LONGHURST.--Composed by Mr. ROOKE. |
