The fifth Designe.

MOntanus that, but tasting any dish, Knew th' age and climate of the flesh or fish; Would tell you, Calidonia fed this 1 Boar; That 2 Mullet was upon th' Ionian shoar Spawn'd ten years since; and that this huge 3 Lamprey Made Scylla bark in the Sicilian Sea. This great 4 Goose-liver, with fowls circumscrib'd, The Jews cramm'd; and that 5 Squil rich Virro brib'd. He would pronounce, 'twas the Venafrian soil Where th' Olives grew which made this precious 6 oile; That here old juice press'd out of Albane 7 Grapes Is fill'd by Asian 8 Boyes with lovely shapes. No 9 Loaf but of the purest Libian bread, Standing before the first 10 and second Bed: But no man needs interpret what he gnaws On the third Bed, Crusts, Eel-bones, 11 Cra-fish claws Dipt in Lamp-oile; or that he spilt his draught Of 12 dregs, scar'd at the Moor by whom 'twas brought. Great Virro's stomach golden 13 Pipins close, Green Crabs the Butler to mean Trebius 14 throws. The Rich in earnest dine, the Poor in jest, The Client's Fast sets off the Patron's Feast.
