19 TEA^CUP BRINDISI. Eat, drink and bo gay, Banish all worry and sorrow, Laugh gayly to-day, Weep, if you're sorry, to-morrow ! Come, pass the cup round I will go bail for the liquor ; It's strong, I'll be bound, Jor it was brewed by the ricar ! CHORUS. None so knowing as he At brewing a jorum of tea, Ha! ha I A pretty stiff jorum of tea. TRIO MR. WELLS, ALINE and ALEXIS. (Aside L.) See see they drink All thought unheeding, The tea cups clink, They are exceeding ! Their hearts will inelt In half an hour Then will be felt The potion's power !

Pain, trouble and care, Misery, heartache and worry, Quick, out of your lair ! G-et you all gone in a hurry !
