Great epoch in the history of bards	A
Important day to those who woo the nine	B
Better than fame are visitation cards	A
And heaven on earth at a great house to dine	B
	-
O cruel memory do not conjure up	C
The ghost of Sally Dab the famous cook	D
Who gave me solid food the cheering cup	C
And on her virtues begg'd I'd write a book	D
	-
For her dear sake I braved the letter'd fates	A
And all her loose thoughts in one volume cramm'd	E
The Accomplish'd Cook in verse with twenty plates	A
Which O ungrateful deed the critics d d	F
	-
D n them I say the tasteless envious elves	A
Malicious fancy makes them so expert	G
They write 'bout dinners who ne'er dine themselves	A
And boast of linen who ne'er had a shirt	G
	-
Rest goddess from all broils I bless thy name	H
Dear kitchen nymph as ever eyes did glut on	I
I'd give thee all I have my slice of fame	H
If thou fat shade could'st give one slice of mutton	J
	-
Yet hold ten minutes more and I am bless'd	K
Fly quick ye seconds quick ye moments fly	L
Soon shall I put my hunger to the test	K
And all the host of miseries defy	L
	-
Thrice is he arm'd who hath his dinner first	M
For well fed valour always fights the best	K
And though he may of over eating burst	M
His life is happy and his death is just	N
	-
To day I dine not on my usual fare	O
Not near the sacred mount with skinny nine	B
Not in the park upon a dish of air	O
But on true eatables and rosy wine	B
	-
Delightful task to cram the hungry maw	P
To teach the empty stomach how to fill	Q
To pour red port adown the parched craw	P
Without that dread dessert to pay the bill	Q
	-
I'm off methinks I smell the long lost savour	P
Hail platter sound to poet music sweet	R
Now grant me Jove if not too great a favour	P
Once in my life as much as I can eat	R
