LINES ON COFFEE by ALEXANDER POPE

Poet Analysis

First Line: AS LONG AS MOCO'S HAPPY TREE SHALL GROW
Last Line: SO LONG HER HONOUR, NAME, AND PRAISE SHALL LAST!
Subject(s): COFFEE;

As long as Moco's happy Tree shall grow,
While Berries crackle, or while Mills shall go;
While smoking Streams from Silver Spouts shall glide,
Or China's Earth receive the sable Tyde;
While Coffee shall to British Nymphs be dear;
While fragrant Steams the bended Head shall chear;
Or grateful Bitters shall delight the Tast;
So long her Honour, Name, and Praise shall last!
