OIL MERCHANTS,

Frenchman at Liverpool did laud,
And 'mongst his friends wishing to be grand,
e asked them to his rooms to see
How rich he lived, and have a cup of tea.
Our hero ordered the host of the hotel
To have the table spread right well;
But Monsieur's knowledge of our tongue was small,
Tile host of French knew none at all ;
. In ordering tea it is not strange
A blunder should their plans derange.
.Messieur 800 l my party noombers twenty-threes
So get von parcel of good tea—
. The tea frem the—the—Fire—that's the name-
- Yoe know vat I do want, so it's all the same."
The 1 indlord bowed and nodded an assent,
And :o the nearest grocer went :
-"A half a pound of your best tea;
Give it me strong-and flavoured well," said he.
Homeward he bent his joyous way,
Thinking he'd make the Frenchman pa)%
The triends all came, and all sat down to tea,
Determined to enjoy it merrily;
But fate destroyed their hopes : 'tie verb sad
To tell the tale, but the tea was bad.
'fwas shocking bad, weak, tasteless stuff,
Although the price was high enough.
Some tried to smile, but they were few:
Gloom spread around the party—all looked blue.
The unconscious host around the table
.._.Smiled, and served each as well as he was able.
When, in a voice which all his friends amazes,
Our hero cried, "This tea's not Blase's."
The landlord said, . It is not Blase's I confess.
But still it cost five shillings—nothing less."
The Frenchman cried, . You'll ruin me,
To' give fire shillings for such tea.
When half as much tea would suffice
Of Blase's. and cost half the price."
The landlord spoke not—he bowed his head,
When Tomkins rose, and thus he said—
" This would indeed have been a pleasant treat
If we'd had tea from Blase's, Parker-street.
. Contempt for our host e'en all must utter ;
Perchance he don't ure belly's butter.
However, let's be merry, put on smiling faces—
When we want TEA we'll go to BLASh'S."
Merchant, Parker-street.
