Are Poets Poor? no, that's a Vulgar Jest,
Here's one invites you to a splendid Feast,
The Dishes they are Sav'ry, and not few,
Beyond Pock-pudding or a French Ragow.
Welcome my Friends to Innocence and Mirth,
Blyth should we be, while doom'd to dirty Earth,
To load the Belly, is Luxury and Vain,
I am not Cook for Belly, but for Brain.
