    Yet shall you have to rectify your palate,
    An olive, capers, or some better salad
    Ushering the mutton; with a short-legged hen,
    If we can get her, full of eggs, and then,
    Limons, and wine for sauce: to these a coney
    Is not to be despaired of for our money;
    And though fowl now be scarce, yet there are clerks,
    The sky not falling, think we may have larks.
