 * A cook they had with them for the none**
 * To boil the chickens with the marrow bones**
 * And flavored tart and with some galyngale**
 * Well he could know a draught of London ale**
 * He could roast, and sethe, and broil, and fry**
 * Make thick soup, and bake a pie well.**
 * But ill it was, as it thought to me,**
 * That on his shin a sore had he.**
 * For white food, that he made with the best.
