Yet deem it not, thou man of taste, a fault,

To add a double quantity of salt.

Four times the spoon with oil of Lucca crown,

And twice with vinegar procured from town;

True taste requires it, and your poet begs

The pounded yellow of two well-boiled eggs.

Let onions’ atoms lurk within the bowl,

And, scarce suspected, animate the whole;

And lastly, in the flavored compound toss

A magic spoonful of anchovy sauce.
