Eggs

,

First,

my

dear

madam,

you

must

take

Nine

eggs,

which

carefully

you’ll

break;

Into

a

bowl

you

'll

drop

the

white,

The

yolks

into

another

by

it.

Let

Betsy

beat

the

whites

with

a

switch,

Till

they

appear

quite

froth’d

and

rich.

Another

hand

the

yolks

must

beat

With

sugar,

which

will

make

them

sweet

Three

or four

spoonfuls

maybe

’ll

do,

Though

some,

perhaps,

would

take

but

two.
