On Tea

Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

And keep the palace of the soul serene,
Venus her myrtle, Phoebus has her bays;
To that bold nation, which the way did show
The Muse's friend, tea does our fancy aid,
Tea both excels, which she vouchsafes to praise.
The best of Queens, and best of herbs, we owe
To the fair region where the sun doth rise,
Fit on her birthday to salute the Queen.
Repress those vapors which the head invade,
Whose rich productions we so justly prize.
