Facetious Mrs. Glass, who recommends

That you should catch your hare ere you do cook it.

And Francatelli; who hath done a book

As well as I; and Doctor Kitchiner,

Oracular professor of his art.

And Captain Cook, who found out foreign roots,

(Though not by nature, yet a Cook by name).

And T. P. Cooke, who says “Avast! belay!”

Whilst in the sailor’s locker there’s a shot

No swab shall starve whilst these great cooks exist
