953. THE TOPER.

_David Teniers_ (Flemish: 1610-1694). _See 154._

This picture is signed with a T. within a D., which is the signature of

the elder Teniers.

But, lo, a Teniers woos, and not in vain,

Your eyes to revel in a livelier sight:

His bell-mouth'd goblet makes one feel quite Danish,

Or Dutch, with thirst--what, ho! a flask of Rhenish.--BYRON.
