To add a double quantity of salt.

Four times the spoon with oil from Lucca crown,

And twice with vinegar procured from town;

And, lastly, o'er the flavour'd compound toss

A magic soupçon of anchovy sauce.

Oh, green and glorious! Oh, herbaceous treat!

'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat;

Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting soul,

And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl.

Serenely full, the epicure would say,
