Some victory o'er reluctant remnants won,

Fresh from the trophies of her skill,

Things that she needed not, nor ever will,

She takes the well-earned bun;

Ambrosial food, Demeter erst design'd

As the appropriate food of womankind,

Plain, or with comfits deck'd and spice;

Or, daintier, dallies with an ice.

Nor feels in heart the worse

Because the haberdashers thus disperse
