those

the
recipe

Egg
Punch.
POSSET.
From
fam'd
Barbadoes,
on
the
western
main,
Fetch
sugar,
ounces
four
;
fetch
sack
from
Spain
A
pint
;
and
from
the
Eastern
Indian
coast
Nutmeg,
the
glory
of
our
northern
toast;
O'er
flaming
coals
let
them
together
heat,
Till
the
all-conquering
sack
dissolve
the
sweet
O'er
such
another
fire
put
eggs
just
ten,
New-born
from
tread
of
cock
and
rump
of
hen
;
Stir
them
with
steady
hand
and
conscience
pricking,
To
see
th'
untimely
end
of
ten
fine
chicken
:
From
shining
shelf
take
down
the
brazen
skellet,
A
quart
of
milk
from
gentle
cow
will
fill
it
When
boil'd
and
cold,
put
milk
and
sack
to
eggs,
Unite
them
firmly
like
the
triple
league,
And
on
the
fire
let
them
together
dwell
Till
miss
sing
twice
—
you
must
not
kiss
and
tell:
Each
lad
and
lass
take
up
a
silver
spoon,
And
fall
on
fiercely
like
a
starv'd
dragoon.

Fleetwood
