as we well know
We are nearer than when we started.

The ink when burnished with _hot kit_--
A little _heel ball_ is the thing
To use, so that it will be fit
To put upon a king.

[Illustration]

Our jack and company seen again,
The last time for the present;
To part, perhaps, will give us pain;
Perhaps be very pleasant.

A burnisher for the heel, behold!
Use briskly when we finish,
For this tale is nearly told,
Its parts seem to diminish.

Many parts have made the whole,
Some parts are much effected;
But when the parts are whole in one,
They do become respected.

[Illustration]

The end is reached, we trust all safe,
After quite a travel;
Though the road was rough from place to place,
The thread did not unravel.
