Paul and Peter, hard and cool,
Heed not much the Golden Rule.
Suffering, stretched beside the way
Never once disturbs their play.
"Bad enough!" says Sly; "he! he!
Shocking bad! but not for me!"
CHAPTER V.
Breeches short and long surtout,
Crooked nose and cane to suit,
Gray of soul and black of eye,
Hat slouched back, expression sly—
Such is old Sol Shuffleshins;
How complacently he grins!
