fancy drinks
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 boihng 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 oflf 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."
