After luncheon sit awhile,
‘ Tis an admirable plan;
After dinner walk a mile —
But make certain that you can.
( Were you not this maxim taught;—
“Good is Wrought by want of Port.” )
After dinner think on this;
Join the ladies with a smile,
And remember that a Miss
Is as good as any mile.
( Thus you may be led to feel
What Amis felt for Amile. )
Never fear of being shy
At the houses where you dine;
You'll recover by-and-bye,
With the second glass of wine;
And can recognize with bliss
That a Meal is not amiss.
