"Tea! Thou soft, thou sober, sage, and venerable liquid, thou innocent pretence for bringing the wicked of both sexes together in a morning; thou female tongue-running, smile-smoothing, heart- opening, wink-tipping cordial, to whose glorious
insipidity
I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate thus, and ... adore thee."
-Colley Cibber
