You may go to Carlisle's, and to Almack's too;
And I'll give you my head if you find such a host,
For coffee, tea, chocolate, butter, and toast:
How he welcomes at once all the world and his wife,
And how civil to folk he ne'er saw in his life.

Christopher Anstey

If ever I ate a good supper at night,
I dreamed of the devil, and waked in a fright.
