Author Description

Excerpt from The Cookery Blue Book The capon burns, the pig falls from the spit; The clock hath struck twelve upon the bell; My mistress made it one upon my cheek - She is so hot, because the meat is cold; Methinks your man, like mine, should be your clock, And strike you home without a messenger. My charge was but to fetch you from the mart Home to your house, the Phoenix, sir, to dinner - My mistress and her sister wait for you. - Comedy of Errors.
