Where breath of westerne windes, may calmely yeld content,

Where casements neede not opened be, where air is never pent.

Where shade may serve for shryne, and yet the sunne at hande,

Where beautie need not quake for colde, ne yet with sunne be tande.

Which princes seeke in pallaces, with payne and costly charge.

Then comes the captaine Cooke"—

These gentlemen of the household, it seems, came well provided; the farmer, with wines and ales "in bottles and in barrels," and the latter with colde loynes of veale, colde capon, beefe and goose, pigeon pyes, mutton colde, neates tongs poudred well, gambones of the hogge, saulsages and savery knackes.[276:A]
