For flesh and fish, and eury dish:
Mutton and beefe, of all meates cheefe:
For cow-heels, chitterlings, tripes and sowse,
And other meate thats in the house:

For pies with raisons, and with proines:
For fritters, pancakes, and for freyes,
For venison pasties, and minc't pies:
Sheephead and garlick, brawne and mustard.
Wafers, spic'd cakes, tart and custard,
For capons, rabets, pigges and geese,
For apples, carawaies and cheese:
For all these and many moe
Benedicamus Domino
