Our masters made us spend such pains!
But those the grocers' shops supply,
Whose golden skins, if somewhat dry,
Have In them hearts still full of honey
On which we spent our pocket-money.
Not one of all our youthful band
But longed to see the mystic land,
OF whose entertainments manifold
Our loved Arabian stories told,
Where grew, twas said, in sunburnt strength

Babe Jack good-Sy. He went to sea.
The man-of-war on which he found
His sea-legs, was for Egypt bound.

Fresh dates as plump as plums he eyes,

Dewy and dripping from the trees.

The shocked Catonian midshipman.
II asked for dates. These are not dates.
Dates should be dry as candied Gates,
And pressed and squeezed and closely pack'd
In compass small, with care exact.
These fruits are fresh. Such freshness suits
Mere common, ordinary fruits,
Cherries and currants. But things rare,
Old famous and remote, should bear

And pack'd with care, since even their best
