An Extract of an overland Dispatch. I stare at it from out my casement, And ask for what is such a place meant. Byron. July 29, 1820. ----The queerest of all the queer sights I've set sight on;-- Is, the _what dye-call'-t thing_, here, The Folly at Brighton {049} The outside--huge teapots, all drill'd round with holes, Relieved by extinguishers, sticking on poles: The inside--all tea-things, and dragons, and bells, The show rooms--_all_ show, the sleeping rooms--cells. But the _grand_ Curiosity 's not to be seen-- The owner himself-- an old fat Mandarin; A patron of painters who copy designs, That grocers and tea-dealers hang up for signs: Hence teaboard-taste artists gain rewards and distinction, Hence his title of 'Teapot' shall last to extinction. I saw his great chair into which he falls--soss-- And sits, in his China Shop, like a large Joss; His mannikins round him, in tea-tray array, His pea-hens beside him, to make him seem gay. {050} It is said when he sleeps on his state Eider-down, And thinks on his Wife, and about _half_ a Crown; That he wakes from these horrible dreams in a stew; And that, stretching his arms out, he screams, Mrs. Q.! He's cool'd on the M--ch-ss, but I'm your debtor For further particulars-- in a C letter. You must know that he hates _his own_ wife, to a failing;-- And it's thought, it's to shun her, he's now gone out SAILING.
