| | E'er wants my table the health cheering meals, — |
| | With Springfield mutton crown'd or Jersey veals.— |
| | Smokes not from Passyunk meads the Stately loin. |
| | And rosey Gammen from Flemmingtonian Swine, |
| | From Shippack roosts the feathered victims bleeds. |
| | And Delaware still wafts me Oceans scaly breeds. |
| | Tho' Gallia's vines their costly juice deny,— |
| | Still Schuylkill's banks the Jocund glass supply. |
| | Still distant worlds nectarious treasures roll.— |
| | And either India sparkles in my bowl.— |
| | Or Larkins boughs, or Linleys bearded fields.— |
| | To Columbia's Arms, a Columbia beverage yields. |
