One thing is certain: tho’ this Stolen Bite

Should be my last and Wrath consume me quite,

One taste of It within the Area caught

Better than at the Table lost outright.

Indeed, indeed Repentance oft before

I swore, but was I hungry when I swore?

And then and then came Cook—with Hose in hand—

And drowned my glory in a sorry pour.

What without asking hither harried whence,

And without asking whither harried hence—

O, many a taste of that forbidden Sole

Must down the memory of that Insolence.
