Gelées d’orange—de marasquin;
While some, with looks ecstatic, scan
The soufflé’s buoyant height.
Best fair is theirs by —— fed,
Less pleasing to digest;
The taste soon gone, and in its stead,
Oppression on the chest.
Theirs joyous hours, and jocund nights,
Wit’s playful sallies, fancy’s flights,
And goodly cheer as e’er was seen—
