"To make this condiment your poet begs

The pounded yellow of two hard-boiled eggs;

Two boiled potatoes, passed through kitchen sieve,

Smoothness and softness to the salad give.

Let onion atoms wink within the bowl,

And half suspected, animate the whole;

Of mordant mustard, add a single spoon,

(Distrust the condiment that bites too soon),

But deem it not, thou man of herbs, a fault,

To add a double quantity of salt.
