Hors d'œuvres, soup, fish, entrée, joint, game, ices.
Ab ovo nothing has been ignored
Usque ad malum, not minding prices.
Augustus might have have his sight
Reading with only a lamp or taper;
The working-man's electric light
Glows on immaculate daily paper.
Go search in Mommsen's history,
Then come you home and sing with me—
No life of emperor could, or can,
