• From Punch’s Poetical Cookery Book
    Roasted Sucking-Pig
    AIR.—“Scots wha hae.”

    COOKS who ’d roast a sucking-pig,
    Purchase one not over big;
    Coarse ones are not worth a fig;
          So a young one buy.
    See that he is scalded well
    (That is done by those who sell,
    Therefore on that point to dwell
          Were absurdity)....
