Be careful not to scratch it;
When in position we are found
We are more apt to catch it.
When this we’ve caught, and feel safe to leave
For the other side,
We’ll find the heel where the toe has been,
By this we must abide.
The future for us yet;
Let’s last the upper all around,
’Till at the toe we get.
Still using awl in pincer hand,
Alternating endly,
For at this post we’ve taken stand
To grow up very friendly.
The first is more important,
Because the toe is always seen;
If rough becomes discordant.
These crimps are made from left to right,
And right to left we go;
Then scallop them, when to be pegged,
Not so when it we sew.
With crimps cut as was said,
Already for the middle sole,
Which forms an even bed,
On which we lay the outer sole;
The thing we look for next,
Is moulded near the upper close,
And comes quite near our text.
A better understanding,
And help protect our feet from frost,
While we the trade commanding.
A strap is used around the foot,
The shoe upon the knee;
To mould the sole, as we have said,
These parts should all agree.
Trim the sole prepared;
Then make a line for pegs to go,
For in this we have shared.
We to our old friend jack make haste,
With our awl and hammer bright;
Begin to peg on the line we’ve marked—
Six to the inch is right.
Each other they are put;
Use them long enough to go clear through,
But save them from the foot.
The awl-hand picks up the pegs,
The hammer-hand now takes,
Between forefinger and the thumb,
And for the hole it makes.
By repeating this we soon shall have
Our work ready for a lift;
But first, smooth pegs and trim heel-seat,
Or we’ll move along too swift.
Making the centre level;
With our knife in hand, not very dull,
We are prepared to bevel.
In this way the heel is built,
One lift upon the other;
Pegging each will add no guilt,
But save our subject bother.
Piece by piece, until we stop
At the proper height;
A solid piece used for the top
Will make it finish right.
Around the top, in mind,
And on the outside some prefer
A few more nails to find.
