The Bean whose perfume scents the ambient skies,
The twining Pea, the Turnip's juicy root,
The Celery that winter's blast defies,
The Radish warm, the Carrot's vigorous shoot,
The rich Potatoe fam'd I ERNE 's fruit
Sacred to Venus in the genial hour,
The Leek whose steams the hasty C AMBRIAN suit,
With ample head the swelling Cauliflower,
And Lettuce friendly deem'd to M ORPHEUS ' drowsy power.
