_ if he please; All works on _brewing_ leave to Mr. _Porter_,-- To _Boosey--temperance_, for his firm supporter. Leave to friend _Bull_ all works on _horned cattle_, While _Reid_ will teach the youthful mind to _prattle_; Give _Bohn--anatomy_; give _Mason sculpture_; _Gardiner's engrafted_ upon _horticulture_. For valuation-tables on the price of laud, Why should we seek, since _Byfield_ is at hand; For works on draining either bog or fen, In _Marsh_ and _Moore_ we have a choice of men. Give _Sherwood_ tales of merry men, who stood-- Firm to their robbing--around _Robin Hood_. _Ogle_ takes _optics,--Miller_, works on _grain_,-- _Ridgway_, on _railroads,--Surgery_ with _Payne_. Hail! Pic-a-dilly _Hatchard_, thy vocation Should be prolific, for 'tis _incubation_; Thy pious care brought _Egley_ into _note_, And still on _Gosling_ some folks say you dote. But to my plan.--To make the dull ones plod well, Books for the use of _schools_, give Mr. _Rodwell_; And works on _painting_ should you ever lack, You need but brush to either _Grey_ or _Black_. From _Cowie_ works on _vaccination_ fetch, _Pedestrian tours_ from _Walker_, or from _Stretch_; And if in search of _wonders_ you should range, Where can you seek them better than from _Strange_. The suff'ring climbing boys our pity claim, To aid their interest--_Suttaby_, I'd name; And as they're oft of _churchyard-terrors_ slaves, Print works to cure them, O! _Moon, Boys,_ and _Graves_. For plans of bridges _Arch_ would be the best; For stairs and steps on _Banister_ I'd rest; All that relates to church or chapel holy, I vote that such be _Elder's_ business solely. _Sustenance_ on _diet_ surely ought to treat; _Joy_ gives us _human happiness_ complete: _Tilt_ will all works on _tournament_ enhance, The _law_--Oh! that of course I leave to _Chance_, _Priestly_ and _Chappell_ may divide _theology_, _Hookham_ and _Roach_ the angling and _ichthyology_; And for _Phrenology_, what need of rumpus, One for his _Nob_ will do--so take it, _Bumpus_! * * * * * SPINNING-WHEEL SONG. BY MISS MITFORD. Fair Janet sits beside her wheel; No maiden better knew To pile upon the circling reel An even thread and true; But since for Rob she 'gan to pine, She twists her flax in vain; 'Tis now too coarse,--and now too fine,--
