Some he dry-dishes, some moats round with broths:

Mounts marrow-bones, cuts fifty-angled custards,

Rears bulwark pies, and for his outer works

He raiseth ramparts of immortal crust;

And teacheth all the tactics at one dinner:

What ranks, what files, to put his dishes in:

The whole art military. Then he knows

The influence of the stars upon his meats,

And all their seasons, tempers, qualities,

And so to fit his relishes and sauces.
