And “tea” is a plant that we use;
To “Parley” ’s to treat by word, I suppose,
And “pear” is a fruit we all choose.
Many youth like “to eat,” I’m afraid, beyond measure,
And part of the head is the “ear,”
And what is more common than, when we feel pleasure,
Or grief, to give vent to a “tear.”
“Peter Parley” ’s distinguished I’m sure as a writer,
And welcom’d by all with a smile;
And surely no book is a greater exciter
