The cow, however, proved herself equal to the emergency, and "Obedient to her saintly lord, Viands to suit each taste outpoured. Honey she gave, and roasted grain, Mead, sweet with flowers, and sugar-cane. Each beverage of flavor rare, And food of every sort, were there. Hills of hot rice, and sweetened cakes, And curdled milk, and soup in lakes.
Wilson's best, ho presented it to me just before I left home, and gave me his word it was unadulterated," said Edward, with great assurance. "Col.
