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 11 five o'cloeka," And one man in his time drinks many kinds, His drinking having seven stases. At first he knows Not rubbish from the perfect growths of Eastern chases ; And then some wily shopman with Vile packets of adulterated stuff, Iccep tion tries The ignorant to befool. And thfn tea brewing, Slewing in teapots, making tea actrocious, UnfU for human drinking. Then the buyer Maketh strange oaths, and tries another sortPurity 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 us, well blessed, a real pure tea, From India's shores and far Ceylon. And this right manly choice Turns tea-drinking to pleasure, fair and free, The whole of the year round. Best scene of all Disclosed by these teas and their history, They're BMPIJITC COMPANY'S ! ! All the rest's oblivion. BEST TEAS ! BEST BLENDS ! BEST TASTE 1 BEST EVERYTHING! Sold in lib and £lb packets, 51b and 101 b tins, and half-chests, 451 b. Full Weight of Tea is Always Given.
