Then of course he tea’d at Floca’s
Cosmopolitan as Shepheard’s,
Ever full to overflowing.
In those days there came to Floca’s
Officers of many armies,
Officers of many navies,
Mufti-wallahs of all nations.
Came the Greeks (with swords beside them),
Gold and scarlet as a sunset,
Came the Italians with their grey cloaks,
