balf-cooked food, aud fish and eggs that
smelt. Go, take what / have took; go,
bear what I have borne; throw teacups at
the cook, and swear as have sworn. Go,
hive on juIceless stake, and soggy bread half
baked; at midnight lay awake and ache as
I have ached. Go, gnaw with all your
might on tough doughnuts and pies. and
stop before each breath and pick out hairs |
and flies. Go, do as / have done-make
yourself fool, by winning, as 1 haYe won,
a girl from cooking scnool.
