Much time being spent in these pleasing diversions,
A motion was made to remit their exertions:
For supper was waiting; which, on this occasion,
Was manag’d with skill, and exact regulation.
[p13] The bosom of earth a firm table supply’d—
The cloth was green grass, with gay flow’rets bedy’d;
The various utensils by nature were cast,
And suited completely this antique repast.
