. Hints to in hand ;Furnish your wines from the best bins,And outdo all the other cleverly to think youve got em,Your Masters purse can have no bottom ! If, when applying for a place,Your Master asks you, to your face,If you be sober, and the rest,Or somewhat givn to Hodges best *?Confess youre fond of drinking courses,But nothing bangs your love of hell admire your candid way,And trust to all you do and that youll do the like by him,Because you chance to suit his whim : 60 HINTS TO SERVANTS. The only plan to bring you pelf,Is buying hay and oats yourself;Because you know a way so handy,To turn them into ale and brandy. Further Ill not attempt to mixMyself at all with jockeys tricks ;Or run a race with such as you,Wholl take my hints, and beat me too ! For once, then, Ill hold in the reins,Not to be jostled for my pains :The c burning turf but brings remorse,And fairly warns me off the rest, and finger still the cole,Groom of the crib !—groom of the stole!. 61 THE COACHMAN. Youre bound to nothing, strictly speaking,But just to keep the wheels from creaking;And then to drive just slower, faster,To please yourself more than your teach your horses, when youre toping,The art to stand stock-still and Master that theyre getting old,And one on em has got a cold,When at the alehouse youve a call,And not inclined to drive at all. If Master takes a short excursion,Get drunk, and play up Mags diversion;Pass some deep pit close to the brink,To show you re none the worse for drink ;And swear you cant decline October,Or drive quite well if youre quite sober ! 62 THE NURSERY MAID. Let children always, when theyre ill,Both eat and drink whateer they will;Although forbid by Doctor Diet,Twill do em good, and keep em love you—all, and take it kind too,To throw their physic out of window:Remember, though, tis quite as wellTo bid the poor things not to tellDo for your Mistress just the same,If laid
