First Line: Tis not the food, but the content
Last Line: More then a feast contenteth me.
Subject(s): Food & Eating


'Tis not the food, but the content
That makes the Tables merriment.
Where Trouble serves the board, we eate
The Platters there, as soone as meat.
A little Pipkin with a bit
Of Mutton, or of Veale in it,
Set on my Table, (Trouble-free)
More then a Feast contenteth me.
