Had taken the odd gross from little Moses,

Seemed looking thro' green spectacles.

"Green faces!" so they all began to comment—

"Yes—opposite to Druggists' lighted shops,

But that's a flying color—never stops—

A bottle-green that's vanish'd in a moment.

Green! nothing of the sort occurs to mind,

Nothing at all to match the present piece;

Jack in the Green has nothing of the kind—

Green-grocers are not green—nor yet green geese!"
