Pearly drops of dew we drink
In acorn cups filled to the brink.
The brains of nightingales,
With unctuous fat of snails,
Between two cockles stewed,
Is meat that’s easily chewed;
Tails of worms and marrow of mice
Do make a dish that’s wondrous nice.
The grasshopper, gnat, and fly
Serve for our minstrelsy;
