| A great roast of purple camel hump | R |
| rises from a green cauldron | H |
| and crystal plates gleam | S |
| with heaps of white scaled fish | T |
| But the rhinoceros horn chopsticks | O |

| dance vainly above the roast | V |
| The flying steeds of the eunuchs | O |
| hardly stir the dust | W |
| as they bear in eight exotic dishes | O |
| from the Imperial Kitchens | O |
