[Sir DYCE DUCKWORTH, in a letter written to a Vegetarian Correspondent, says, "I believe in the value of animal food and alcoholic drinks for the best interests of man. The abuse or misuse of either is another matter.">[

O plump Head-waiter, I have read

What worthy DUCKWORTH writes!

And that is why I've swiftly sped

To where your door invites.

Of old, by sheer starvation;

But now no longer shall I frown

On food assimilation.
