Rh A number of cases, in which making laces
 * Had been proved an infringement of right.

The maker of Bonnets ferociously planned
 * A novel arrangement of bows:

While the Billiard-marker with quivering hand
 * Was chalking the tip of his nose.

But the Butcher turned nervous, and dressed himself fine,
 * With yellow kid gloves and a ruff—

Said he felt it exactly like going to dine,
 * Which the Bellman declared was all "stuff."

"Introduce me, now there's a good fellow," he said,
 * "If we happen to meet it together!"

And the Bellman, sagaciously nodding his head,
 * Said " That must depend on the weather."

The Beaver went simply galumphing about,
 * At seeing the Butcher so shy:

And even the Baker, though stupid and stout,
 * Made an effort to wink with one eye.
