AN EARLY VIEW OF THE SAME QUESTION:
In a Dialogue between some Boilers and Chafing-dishes.
Each morn the Chafing-dishes roundThe College quadrangles are found;
And, as the Coals begin to glisten,
You'll hear the Boiler, if you listen,
Running his treble notes up high,
To Chafing-dish beneath him cry:
“Wee, wee, wee, we, wehee, wee, we!
“Shall both of us exhausted be,
“Between this Fire, and you, and me,
“About a Dish or two of Tea?”
