LXV.

Fowls "à la Condé," slices eke of salmon,

With "sauces Génevoises," and haunch of venison;

Wines too, which might again have slain young Ammon—[755]A man like whom I hope we sha'n't see many soon;

They also set a glazed Westphalian ham on,

Whereon Apicius would bestow his benison;

And then there was champagne with foaming whirls,

As white as Cleopatra's melted pearls.
