AFrenchman at Liverpool did land,
And 'monast his friends wishing to be grand,
itei;iked 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 emelt,
The 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-three,
So get von parcel Of good tea—
The tea from the—the—Fire—that's the name—
You know vat I do want, so it's all the same."
The landlord bowed and nodded an assent,
And lo 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,
Thinkinglie'd-make the Frenchman pay.
The rriends all came, and all sat down to tea,
Determined to enjoy it merrily;
But fate destroy, d their hopes : 'tic very sad
To tell the tale, but the tea was bad.
'Twas 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 Man*,
Our hero cried, " This tea's not Blase's."
The landlord said, "It is not Blase's I confess,
But still it cost five shillingi•Lnothing less."
The Frenchman cried, "You'll ruin me,
To give five shillings for such tea,
When half as much tea would muffle.
•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 Billie's, Parker-street.
Contempt for our host e'en all must utter ;
Perchance he don't use helly's butter.
However, let's be merry, put on•smillnß faces—
When we want•TEA. we'll go to BLASE'S."
