Every Man in his Own Way

An Epistle to a Friend. By Stephen Duck

Another, who Lucullus would excel
In the luxurious Arts of eating well,
Plump as a Swine of Epicurus looks,
His God his Belly, and his Glory Cooks.
So many Dishes on his Board appear,
'Twould surfeit you to read his Bill of Fare:
And of one Dinner the Expence so large,
Not Peter often could support the Charge.
