Image description

"Venus her myrtle, Phoebus has his bays; / Tea both excels, which she vouchsafes to praise, / The best of Queens, and best of herbs, we owe / To that bold nation, which the way did show / To the fair region, where the sun does rise; / Whose rich productions we so justly prize, / The Muse's friend, Tea, does our fancy aid, / Repress those vapors which the head invade; / And keeps that palace of the soul serene, / Fit, on her birthday, to salute the Queen." Illustration for Nell Gwyn The Story of her Life by Lewis Melville with illustrations by Kitty Shannon (2nd edn, Hutchinson, c 1930).
