    Oh, dainty and delicious!
    Food for the gods! Ambrosia for Apicius!
    Worthy to thrill the soul of sea-born Venus,
    Or titillate the palate of Silenus!

Yet shall you have to rectify your palate,
An olive, capers, or some better salad
Ushering the mutton; with a short-legged hen,
If we can get her, full of eggs, and then,

Is not to be despaired of for our money;
And though fowl now be scarce, yet there are clerks,
The sky not falling, think we may have larks.
