THE POETS AT TEA: 5. BROWNING, WHO TREAT IT ALLEGORICALLY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tut! Bah! We take as another case
Last Line: The sugar was salt, would the bohea be congo?
Subject(s): Browning, Robert (1812-1889); Food & Eating; Poetry & Poets; Tea


Tut! Bah! We take as another case --
Pass the bills on the pills on the window-sill; notice the capsule
(A sick man's fancy, no doubt, but I place
Reliance on trade-marks, Sir) -- so perhaps you'll
Excuse the digression -- this cup which I hold
Light-poised -- Bah, it's spilt in the bed! -- well, let's on go --
Hold Bohea and sugar, Sir; if you were told
The sugar was salt, would the Bohea be Congo?
