But thoa rich Dainties never spread my Board, Nor my cool Vaults Calabrian Wines afford, Yet what is neat and wholesome I can spread, My good fat Bacon and our homely Bread, With which my healthful Family is fed. Milk from the Cow, and Butter newly churn'd And new fresh Cheese, with Curds and Cream just turn'd.
