Spears of old butter had each of them.

A huge caldron full of luabin

(Methought I’d try to tackle it)

Boiled leafy kale, browny-white,

A brimming vessel full of milk.

A bacon-house of two-score ribs,

A wattling of tripe—support of clans—

Of every food pleasant to man,

Meseemed the whole was gathered there.”
