Then bade he Fleming to him draw near, While with voice of kindness, soft and clear, And with a touch of sword, swift aud light, Said, “ Pink of Fashion,” I dub thee knight. Sir Knight of Crispin on the scroll of fame •Henceforth shall stand thy honored name ; Yes, thy boots the feet of kings shall grace, Thou leader of Crispin’s leather race ; And thy noble hall in Stafford street Shall still bo filkd with the elite. And here I, Sir George, do now declare— Nay, no boots but Fleming’s will I wear ; And before I leave Edina’s town, On his brow I’ll settle Crispin’s crown. To Let. 0 L E T.
