Ham by fat capon, and beef by green worts;

Ven'son from forest, and mutton from fold;

Brawn from the oak-wood, and hare from the wold;

Wild-goose from fen, and tame from the lea;

And plumëd dish from the heronry—

With choicest apples 'twas featly rimmed,

And stood next the flagons with malmsey brimmed,—

Near the knightly swan, begirt with quinces,

Which the gossips said was a dish for princes,—

Though his place was never to stand before

The garnished head of the royal boar!

Puddings of plumbs and mince-pies, placed

In plenty along the board, met taste

Of gossip and maiden,—nor did they fail

To sip, now and then, of the double brown ale—

That ploughman and shepherd vowed and sware

Was each drop so racy, and sparkling, and rare—

No outlandish Rhenish could with it compare!
