TEA.
I
Let Poets praise in rapt'rous dreamsTheir pretty Naiads, purling streams;
11
No Naiad half so pretty pours.
II
Her powerfull cups let Circe bless,And men transform to savages;
Of happier force our Charmer's can
Polish the savage into man.
III
Medea's potions may bestowOn aged blood a youthfull flow;
Chloe's of power yet more uncouth
Quicken the very flow of youth.
IV
And, Jove, tho' Hebe crown thy treatWith Nectar and Ambrosia sweet;
We envy not while we can boast
Our as delicious Tea and Toast.
