We observe that Mr S. Gilbert, chemist, has removed to more central and commodious premises at 92, Queen-street, where the dispensation of drugs will go on. "The Boots in Gnrretts' Shop" (air, "The Babies on our Block"). To be sung " Lapstone solio, awlstando, contralto, robusto, waxendo." If in search of boots you go, There's a place that I know well, "Where " trotter-cases" are got up, Made to wear as well as sell. There's boots and shoes to suit you all, And your moneys well laid out — Boots for short as well as tall, They'll suit you without doubt. There's the Oxford and Napoleon, With Wellingtons, too, you'll see, Side by side with Bluchers made To suit men of all degree ; So take your choice, good people, Kegret it you will not, The best of boots that can be made Are those from Garretts' shop. Then roll up, roll up quickly ! Make haste— delay it not, For tho best of boots that hero are made Are those from Garretts' shop. At the top of Wakefield-street it stands, Where of boots youll find a lot, And no one here can beat them, Because they're made at Garretts' shop. To be continued when our poet recovers from the kicking he received for writing the above.
