Canto the Second

CXXIII

And these two tended him, and cheer'd him both
     With food and raiment, and those soft attentions,
Which are (as I must own) of female growth,
     And have ten thousand delicate inventions:
They made a most superior mess of broth,
     A thing which poesy but seldom mentions,
But the best dish that e'er was cook'd since Homer's
Achilles ordered dinner for new comers.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) ByronLong
