Needs not be said, at every pause in this
Glasses get emptied, while the refill'd kiss,
Lip against lip, as custom stands with friends.
The punch was excellent. A good punch lends
A fillip to enjoyment. Let them hunch
Teetotal shoulders! Tea, well put in punch,
Helps temperance, corrects the spirituous part,
And cheer'd by it gives warmth unto the heart.
Try tea with lemon-juice! a little bit
Of sugar added: there's no harm in it.
Good lemon aids the tea. Nor is there wrong
In some stomachic, taken not too strong.
But pass the punch! We wait another song.
