To make this condiment,
your poet begs

The pounded yellows of
two hard-boiled eggs;

Two boiled potatoes,
passed through the °
kitchen sieve,

Smoothness and softness
to salad give;

Let onion atoms lurk
within the bowl,

And, half-suspected,
animate the whole.

Of mordant mustard add

a single spoon,
Distrust the condiment
that bites so soon;

But deem it not, thou
man of herbs, a fault

Jo add a double quantity .
of salt.

And, lastly o’er the
flavored compound toss

A magic soup-spuon of
anchovy sauce,

Oh, green and glorious!
Oh, herbaceous treat!
‘Twould tempt the dying

anchorite to eat;
Back to the world he'd
turn his fleeting soul,
And plunge his fingers
in the salad bowl!
Serenely full, the
epicure would say,
Fate can not harm me,
I have dined today!
