Читать книгу Nothing to Eat - Alger Horatio Jr., Thomas Chandler Haliburton - Страница 5

   Another expounder of life’s thorny mazes

   Excited our pity at fortune’s hard fare,

   And troubled the city’s most troublesome places,

   While singing his ditty of “Nothing to Wear.”

   “A tale worth the telling,”’ though I tell for the same,

   Great objects of pity we see in the street,

   “With nothing to wear, though a legion by name,

   Is not to buy clothing, but something to eat.
