| I send my salt my sacrifice | A |
| To thee thy lady younglings and as far | B |
| As to thy Genius and thy Lar | B |
| To the worn threshold porch hall parlour kitchen | C |
| The fat fed smoking temple which in | D |
| The wholesome savour of thy mighty chines | A |
| Invites to supper him who dines | A |
| Where laden spits warp'd with large ribs of beef | E |
| Not represent but give relief | E |
| To the lank stranger and the sour swain | F |
| Where both may feed and come again | G |
| For no black bearded Vigil from thy door | H |
| Beats with a button'd staff the poor | I |
| But from thy warm love hatching gates each may | J |
| Take friendly morsels and there stay | J |
| To sun his thin clad members if he likes | A |
| For thou no porter keep'st who strikes | A |
| No comer to thy roof his guest rite wants | A |
| Or staying there is scourged with taunts | A |
| Of some rough groom who yirk'd with corns says 'Sir | I |
| 'You've dipp'd too long i' th' vinegar | I |
| 'And with our broth and bread and bits Sir friend | K |
| 'You've fared well pray make an end | K |
| 'Two days you've larded here a third ye know | L |
| 'Makes guests and fish smell strong pray go | L |
| 'You to some other chimney and there take | M |
| 'Essay of other giblets make | M |
| 'Merry at another's hearth you're here | I |
| 'Welcome as thunder to our beer | I |
| 'Manners knows distance and a man unrude | K |
| 'Would soon recoil and not intrude | K |
| 'His stomach to a second meal ' No no | L |
| Thy house well fed and taught can show | L |
| No such crabb'd vizard Thou hast learnt thy train | F |
| With heart and hand to entertain | F |
| And by the arms full with a breast unhid | K |
| As the old race of mankind did | K |
| When either's heart and either's hand did strive | N |
| To be the nearer relative | O |
| Thou dost redeem those times and what was lost | K |
| Of ancient honesty may boast | K |
| It keeps a growth in thee and so will run | C |
| A course in thy fame's pledge thy son | C |
| Thus like a Roman Tribune thou thy gate | K |
| Early sets ope to feast and late | K |
| Keeping no currish waiter to affright | K |
| With blasting eye the appetite | K |
| Which fain would waste upon thy cates but that | K |
| The trencher creature marketh what | K |
| Best and more suppling piece he cuts and by | P |
| Some private pinch tells dangers nigh | P |
| A hand too desp'rate or a knife that bites | A |
| Skin deep into the pork or lights | A |
| Upon some part of kid as if mistook | Q |
| When checked by the butler's look | Q |
| No no thy bread thy wine thy jocund beer | I |
| Is not reserved for Trebius here | I |
| But all who at thy table seated are | I |
| Find equal freedom equal fare | I |
| And thou like to that hospitable god | K |
| Jove joy'st when guests make their abode | K |
| To eat thy bullocks thighs thy veals thy fat | K |
| Wethers and never grudged at | K |
| The pheasant partridge gotwit reeve ruff rail | R |
| The cock the curlew and the quail | R |
| These and thy choicest viands do extend | K |
| Their tastes unto the lower end | K |
| Of thy glad table not a dish more known | S |
| To thee than unto any one | C |
| But as thy meat so thy immortal wine | T |
| Makes the smirk face of each to shine | T |
| And spring fresh rose buds while the salt the wit | K |
| Flows from the wine and graces it | K |
| While Reverence waiting at the bashful board | K |
| Honours my lady and my lord | K |
| No scurril jest no open scene is laid | K |
| Here for to make the face afraid | K |
| But temp'rate mirth dealt forth and so discreet | K |
| Ly that it makes the meat more sweet | K |
| And adds perfumes unto the wine which thou | U |
| Dost rather pour forth than allow | U |
| By cruse and measure thus devoting wine | T |
| As the Canary isles were thine | T |
| But with that wisdom and that method as | A |
| No one that's there his guilty glass | A |
| Drinks of distemper or has cause to cry | P |
| Repentance to his liberty | K |
| No thou know'st orders ethics and hast read | K |
| All oeconomics know'st to lead | K |
| A house dance neatly and canst truly show | L |
| How far a figure ought to go | L |
| Forward or backward side ward and what pace | A |
| Can give and what retract a grace | A |
| What gesture courtship comeliness agrees | A |
| With those thy primitive decrees | A |
| To give subsistence to thy house and proof | V |
| What Genii support thy roof | V |
| Goodness and greatness not the oaken piles | A |
| For these and marbles have their whiles | A |
| To last but not their ever virtue's hand | K |
| It is which builds 'gainst fate to stand | K |
| Such is thy house whose firm foundations trust | K |
| Is more in thee than in her dust | K |
| Or depth these last may yield and yearly shrink | W |
| When what is strongly built no chink | W |
| Or yawning rupture can the same devour | I |
| But fix'd it stands by her own power | I |
| And well laid bottom on the iron and rock | X |
| Which tries and counter stands the shock | X |
| And ram of time and by vexation grows | A |
| The stronger Virtue dies when foes | A |
| Are wanting to her exercise but great | K |
| And large she spreads by dust and sweat | K |
| Safe stand thy walls and thee and so both will | Y |
| Since neither's height was raised by th'ill | Y |
| Of others since no stud no stone no piece | A |
| Was rear'd up by the poor man's fleece | A |
| No widow's tenement was rack'd to gild | K |
| Or fret thy cieling or to build | K |
| A sweating closet to anoint the silk | Z |
| Soft skin or bath e in asses' milk | Z |
| No orphan's pittance left him served to set | K |
| The pillars up of lasting jet | K |
| For which their cries might beat against thine ears | A |
| Or in the damp jet read their tears | A |
| No plank from hallow'd altar does appeal | A2 |
| To yond' Star chamber or does seal | A2 |
| A curse to thee or thine but all things even | D |
| Make for thy peace and pace to heaven | C |
| Go on directly so as just men may | J |
| A thousand times more swear than say | J |
| This is that princely Pemberton who can | B2 |
| Teach men to keep a God in man | B2 |
| And when wise poets shall search out to see | K |
| Good men they find them all in thee | K |
