Was raised to great wealth by a shoe made of glass;
Now if one single slipper such wonders will do,
How fortunate those who are favored with two!
Still some have their doubts, and hesitate whether
One slipper of glass is worth two made of leather.
The man who is upright (they may think as they choose),
That person's full weight must rest in his shoes;
Be lowly his station, or high and commanding,
Two slippers secure him a firm understanding.
