Like noisome soup appeared to gush The sizy torrent, now set free; And in the mess lurched figures bloated, With fat heads, whose dull eyes still gloated On morsels that around them floated Of callipash and callipee.

The Curfew tolls the knell of those whose day Is done—those greedy "creatures on our lee"— Woe to the burly phalanx so au fait At hiding callipash and callipee.

As might be expected in such circumstances, a potato is a far more precious thing than a turtle's egg, and a sack of the tubers would probably be deemed a sufficient remuneration for enough of the materials of callipash and callipee to feed all the aldermen extant.

Nothing is more difficult of digestion, or oftener requires the aid of peristaltic persuaders, than the glutinous callipash which is considered the “bonne bouche” of this soup.

When it has boiled gently for one hour put in the callipee and callipash with the guts, hearts, and some of the best of the meat and head, all cut in squares, with the forcemeat balls and herbs, which you should have ready chopped and stewed in espagnole; the herbs and parsley, lemon, thyme, marjoram, basil, savory, and a few chopped mushrooms.
