OF FLOWERS 



5^^ 



With hanging ^ip and longing eye Ihall move 

 And Envy dwell in yon blue fields above. 



Oft in each month, poetic Tighe! be thine 

 To difh green Brocoli with favor y chine j 

 Oft down thy tuneful throat be thine to cram 

 The fnow-white cauliflower with fowl and ham 



-Nor envy thou, with fuch rich viands bleft, 



The pye of Perigord, or Swallow's neft. 



1 



The pye of Perigord was made of the red-legged partridges before the French revolu- 

 tion ; and was fold in London at the price of a guinea for each bird it contained. 



Swallow's neji. There is a fpecies of fwallow, that builds a neft on the banks of 

 the Nile and Ganges, which confifls of ifinglafs ; which the bird colkas from putrid 

 fifh left on the fands ; and which is efteemed a great delicacy, and enters the mofl: 

 coftly foups at the luxurious tables of the eaft.
