Man is a carnivorous production,
And must have meals, at least one meal a day;

Man is a carnivorous production,
And must have meals, at least one meal a day;
He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction,
But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey;

Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way,
Your laboring people think beyond all question,
Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.

My morning incense. and my evening meal,
The sweets of Hasty-Pudding.

Make rich the ribs, but backrout quite the wits.

Lives half so well as a holy friar.
