All countries did a constant tribute pay—
Could nothing more delectable afford
Than Nature’s Liberality—
Helped with a little Art and Industry—
Allows the meanest gardener’s board.
The wanton Taste no Flesh nor Fowl can choose,
For which the Grape or Melon it would lose,
Though all th’ inhabitants of Earth and Air
Be listed in the Glutton’s bill of fare.
