For, as to mild foods of the vegetive kind,
Few guests at the table to these were inclin’d;
Rare hap for such persons as travell’d that way,
By chance or design, on the following day.
On wine and strong spirits few chose to regale,
As most were accustom’d to Adam’s old ale.
When supper was ended, and each happy guest
Had freely partaken of what he lov’d best;
Of toasts and of sentiments various were giv’n;
As “Health to our Host, and the Land that we live in.”
