[QUOTE="anundverkaufen, post: 76075, member: 49"]ANTIQUE FEASTING. " Old Lucullus, they say, Forty cooks had each day, And Vitellius's meals cost a million ; But I like what is good When or where be my food, In a chop-house or royal pavilion. [B]"At all feasts (if enough) I most heartily stuff, [/B] And a song at my heart alike rushes, Though I've not fed my lungs Upon nightingales' tongues, Nor the brains of goldfinches and thrushes." [U]Captain Morris's " Songs." [/U][/QUOTE]
