TO THE READER

Reader, if over-critical thou be,
Enter not in; go where is better cheer
And if thou art ingenious and free,
Draw nigh, I bid thee kindly welcome here
Eat freely, and bless God, if thou dost find
Refreshing pleasure, with true profit joyn'd
Here thou hast choice variety of Dishes,
That they were better cook'd, the Author wishes.
