If thou didst feed on western plains of yore;Or waddle wide with flat and flabby feetOver some Cambrian mountain's plashy moor;Or find in famer's yard a safe retreatFrom gypsy thieves, and foxes sly and fleet;If thy grey quills, by lawyer guided, traceDeeds big with ruin to some wretched race,Or love-sick poet's sonnet, sad and sweet,Wailing the rigour of his lady fair;Or if, the drudge of housemaid's daily toil,Cobwebs and dust thy pinions white besoil,Departed Goose! I neither know nor care.But this I know, that we pronounced thee fine,Seasoned with sage and onions, and port wine.
Robert Southey
