Fleming, “Pink ” of fashion name reuown’d, ’ Mid the gentle, loving, wise, profound, And whose boots adorn a thou-and foot, And whose praise is sung by voices sweet. He who smooths the soles of female forms, And both charlatan and trickster scorns ; Who wise with skill in King Crispin’s art, From Symmetry’s rule cannot depart; But form the hoot with' elastic case To (:t, to beautify, and please. Hence around bis door in Stallord street Reauty, love, wit, and talent meet, . Eagevfor Fleming to grace their feet, While they in his sanctum take a seat. E’en the representative of the Queen Amid Fleming’s patrons may be seen ; Yes, vdr George, the centre of all news, Had oft heard of Fleming’s boots and slices Spoke of with praise wherc r he went, Therefore in haste he for the artist scut, And in language royal—nay, not proud— Spoke he his praise both free and loud. I hen bade he Fleming to him'draw near, While with voice of kindness, soft and clear, And with a touch of sword, swift and light, Said. “ Pink of Fashion,” L dub thee knight. Sir Knight of Crispin on the scroll of fame :-eiicefurih shall stand thy horn red name; Yes, thy boots the feet of kings shall grace, Thou leader of Crispin's leather race ; And thy noble hall in Stafford street Sb.ul still be nlledwith the elite. And here I, . s ir George, do imw declare— Nay, no boots but FI ming’s will I wear ; And before I leave Edina’s town, Cu hie brow JL’ll settle Ciisyiu’e etown.
