More rich the herbs of China's field,

The pasture-lands more fragrance yield;

For ever let Britannia wield

The tea-pot of her sires!

2.—(Tennyson, who took it hot)

I think that I am drawing to an end:

For on a sudden came a gasp for breath,

And stretching of the hands, and blinded eyes,

And a great darkness falling on my soul.

O Hallelujah! . . . Kindly pass the milk.
