What such a goodly smell might be!

When, lo! upon the sideboard plac’d,

With mottoes quaint and scutcheons grac’d,

And crest erect on high;

In noble dish of china-ware,

Adorn’d with gold and pictures rare,

Stood, and perfumed the neighbouring air,

A lofty pigeon-pie!

And round its edge, in bas relieve,

The curious gazer might perceive
