Drinks

Old

and

New

but

do

not

get

too

near

the

boiling-point.

Then

beat

the

yolks

of

six

eggs

and

the

whites

of

three

eggs,

and throw

them

into

the

bowl.

Slowly

add

half

the

heated

ale

and

wine,

stirring

all

the

while.

Bring

the

remainder

to

the

boil

and

pour

it

also

in

the

bowl.

Lastly,

throw

into

the

bowl

six

roasted

apples

which

had

been

cored

and

stuffed

with

sugar

and

think

of

Puck's

confession

"

Sometimes

lurk

I

in

a

gossip's

bowl,

In

very

likeness

of

a

roasted

crab,

And,

when

she

drinks,

against

her

lips

I

bob,

And

in

her

wither'd

dewlaps

pour

the

ale

!
