THE SEVEN AGES of TEA DRINKING. All the world drinks Tea, And all the men and women dearly like it. They have their breakfasts and their " five o'clocks," And one man in his time drinka many kinds. His drinking having seven stages. At first he knows Not rubbish from the perfect growths of Eastern climes ; And then some wily shopman with Vile packets of adulterated stuff, deception tres The ignorant to befool. And then tea brewing, Stewing in teapots, making tea actrocious, Unfit for human drinking. Then the buyer Maketh strange oaths, and tries another sort Purity wanting, no matter what the mixing, Seeking the blends of reputation, even Down in Wellington. And then the cheap stuff, In paper packages, not even lined, With tints unreal, and shreds of every cut Full of wild straw and modern dirtiness Such cheapness very dear. The sixth stage shifts, And then we find a tea that is a boon. It comes to as, well blessed, a real pure tea, From India's shores and far Ceylon. And this right manly choice Turn 8 tea- drinking to pleasure, fair and free, The whole of the year round.
