"SIDNEY SMITH'S WINTER SALAD."
Two large potatoes passed thro' kitchen sieve,
Unwonted softness to the salad give ;
Of mordaunt mustard add a single spoon —
Distrust the condiment which bites too soon ;
But deem it not, tho' made of herbs, a fault
To add a double quantity of salt ;
Three times the spoon with oil of Lucca crown,
And once with vinegar procured from town.
True flavor needs it, and your poet begs
The pounded yellow of two well boiled eggs.
Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl,
And, half suspected, animate the whole ;
And, lastly, on the favored compound toss
A magic teaspoon of Anchovy sauce.
Then, tho' green turtle fail, tho' venison's tough,
Tho' ham and turkey are not boiled enough,
Serenely full, the epicure shall say,
"Fate cannot harm me — I have dined to-day !"
