Let me but have the necessary means,

A kitchen amply stored, and you shall see,

That, like enchantment, I will spread around

A charm as powerful as the siren's voice;

That not a creature shall have power to move

Beyond the circle, forcibly detain'd

By the delicious odour; and should one

Attempt to draw yet nearer, he will stand

Fix'd like a statue, with his mouth wide open,

Inhaling with each breeze the precious steam,
