Shoemakers are known both far and wide,
As men who always cut up side—
Horse sometimes, also cow leather,
To meet the changes in the weather.
Sheep and goats are often slain;
Both unite to make it plain
That sheep is used for lining nice,
When goat alone would not suffice;
Just so with calf as well as kid.
  Some use these linen-lined,
And think it quite the best, for those
  Who feel themselves refined.
Refined or not, we think it true
  Our feet need some protection;
To do whate’er they have to do,
  We make our own selection.
Select at all times the best we can,
  Both of shoemakers as well as shoes,
This is much the better plan,
  And learns us how to choose.

Measuring the length of the foot

[p7]
The subject, seated on a chair,
  One knee the other to rest,
Has his measure taken fair,
  The foot at ease is best.
The Artist views the foot,
  And straightway takes the length,
By measuring it from heel to toe,
