ON HEARING THE TRANSLATION OF PART OF THE FARMER'S BOY INTO LATIN

_By the Rev. Mr. C--;_

Hey, Giles! in what new garb art dresst?

For Lads like you methinks a bold one;

I'm glad to see thee so caresst;

But, hark ye!--don't despise your old one.

Thou'rt not the first by many, a Boy

Who've found abroad good friends to own 'em;

Then, in such Coats have shown their joy,

E'en their _own Fathers_ have not known 'em.
