A Strange BANQUET : OR , THE Devil's Entertainment by Cook Laurel , AT The PEAK in DERBY-SHIRE ; WITH An Account of the several DISHES served to TABLE . To the Tune of , Cook Laurel , &c.

COok Laurel would have the Devil his Guest , and bid him home to Peak to dinner , Where Fiend never had such a feast , prepared at the charge of a Sinner ; With a hey down , down , a down , down . His stomack was quesie , he came thither coach'd , the joggings had caused his cruets to rife , To help which , he call'd for a Puritan poach'd , that used to turn up the white of his eyes ; With a hey , &c. And so he recovered unto his wish ; he sat him down and began to eat : A Promooter in blumb broth was the first dish , his own privy-kitchin had no such meat ; With a hey , &c. Yet though with this he much was taken , upon a sudden he shifted his trencher , As soon as he spied the Bawd and bacon , by which you may know the Devil 's a Wencher ; With a hey , &c. Six pickled Taylors sliced and cut , with Semsters and Tire-woman , fit for his pallet , With Feathermen and Perfumer's , put some twelve in a charger , to make a grand-salet ; With a hey , &c. A rich fat Vserer stew'd in his marrow , with him a Lawyer 's head and green sawce , All which his belly took in like a barrel , as though till then he had never seen sawce ; With a hey , &c. Then carbonado'd and cook'd with pains , was brought up a Seajeant's cloven face , The sawce was made of a Yeoman's brains , that had been beaten out with his mace ; With a hey , &c. Two roasted Sheriffs came whole to the board , the feast had nothing been without them , Both living and dead were foxed and fur'd , and their chains like sassages hung about them ; With a hey , &c. The next dish was the Mayor of the Town , with a pudding of maintenance put in his belly , Like a goose in her feathers , in his gown , with a couple of Hinch-boys boyl'd to a jelly ; With a hey , &c. Next came the overworn Iustice of Peace , with Clerks like gizzards stuck under each arm , And warrants like sippets lay in his own grease , set over a chaffing-dish to be kept warm : With a hey , &c. A London-cuckold came hot from the spit , and when the Carver had broken him open , The Devil chopt his head off at a bit , but the horns had almost like to choak'd him ; With a hey , &c. A fair large pasty of a Midwife hot ; and for col'd bak'd meat in this story , A reverend painted Lady was brought , long cof●in'd in crust till now she 's grown 〈◊〉 With a hey , &c. The loins of a Letcher then was roasted , with a plumb Harlot's head and garlick , With a Pauder's petitoes that had boasted himself for a Captain that never was warl●… With a hey , &c. Then boiled and stuck upon a prick , the gizzard was brought of a holy Sister , That bit made the Devil almost so sick , that the Doctor did think he had need of a 〈◊〉 With a hey , &c. The jowel of a Time-server for a fish , a Constable sowced , pissed vinegar by , Two Aldermen-lobsters laid it a dish , a Deputy-tart , and a Church-warden-pye , With a hey , &c. All which devoured , then for a close , he did for a draught of Derby call , He heaved the vessel up to his nose , and never left till he had drank up all ; With a hey , &c. Then from the table he gave a start , where banquet and whine was not to ●ee●… All which he blew away with a fart , from whence it 's call'd , The Devil's Arse With a hey down , down , a down , down .
