MULLS

Into a skillet next you'll pour A bottle of good wine, or more— Put half a pint of water, too. Or it may prove too strong for you; And while the eggs (by two) are beating, The wine and water may be heating; But when it comes to boiling heat. The yolks and whites together beat With half a pint of water more —.. Mixing them well, then gently pour

Into the skillet with the wine. And stir it briskly all the time. Then pour it off into a pitcher; Grate nutmeg in to make it richer. Then drink it hot, for he's a fool. Who lets such precious liquor cool.
