And eggs—boil 'em hard.

(R. BROWNING)

Beard.

Waitress, with eyes so marvellous black,

And the blackest possible lustrous gay tress,

This is the month of the Zodiac

When I want a pretty deft-handed waitress.

Bring a china-bowl, you merry young soul;

Bring anything green, from worsted to celery;

Bring pure olive-oil, from Italy's soil...
