Lines on Removal



Come, listen, while we sound the lyre,
To announce the fact, that Mclntyre
Is back again to his old block,
And he has got a splendid stock.

He also hath a strong desire
To see old friends, and new acquire ;
His Furniture is cheap and good,
In every style and kind of wood.

But none in health need 'ere despair,
If they buy from him an easy chair.
When you his Warehouse then do seek,
'Tis where the brick bridge spans the creek.
