Tasting
From all fruit that is forbidden,
Such for which old Eve was chidden;
From bread of labours, sweat, and toyl,
From the poor widow's meal and oyl;
From blood of innocents oft wrangled
From their estates, and from that's strangled;
From the candid poyson'd baits
Of Jesuites and their deceits,
Italian sallads, Romish drugs,
The milk of Babel's proud whore's dugs;
From wine that can destroy the brain,
And from the dangerous figs of Spain;
At all bankets and all feasting,
Bless my sov'reign and his tasting.
