Her Cacao-Nut, with double use endued,
(For Chocolate at once is drink and food,)
Does strength and vigor to the limbs impart,
Makes fresh the countenance and cheers the heart.”[269]
The other is the Cocoa-Nut:—
“While she preserves this Indian palm alone,
America can never be undone;
Embowelled, and of all her gold bereft,
Her liberty and Coccus only left,
She’s richer than the Spaniard with his theft.”[270]
