His Landlady sits in her own still-room,
Alone with the cat sits she;
Except when she asks in the maid or the groom,
To join her in taking tea-e,
To join her in taking tea.
Now, Tim has a tea-chest, but isn’t aware,
That his Landlady helps herself freely from there.
Tho’ the maid and the groom of the Landlady told,
Yet Tim held his tongue,—it was no use to scold.
For ho! ho! ho!
