Crispin's next care was, warily, to look
For some clean—clever—economic—Cook.
St. George's—James's—Marybone—must range—
Along Cheapside, and all about the 'Change,
To find a Man of prudence, and of parts,
Well-skill'd in all the culinary Arts—
A Man of management—of taste—of sense,
To dress large Dinners at the least expence—
To spread abundant plenty round the board,
Yet spare prolific Larder's endless hoard;
That every Guest much gewgaws might, behold,
But still be tender of the Giver's gold,
For some clean—clever—economic—Cook.
