Master of the piano—and the pan—

As busy with the kitchen as the skies!

Now looking

At some rich stew thro' Galileo's eyes,

Or boiling eggs—timed to a metronome—

As much at home

In spectacles as in mere isinglass—

In the art of frying brown—as a digression

On music and poetical expression,—

Whereas, how few of all our cooks, alas!
