Eve's Pudding

If you want a good pudding, mind what you are taught; Take eggs six in number, when bought for a groat; The fruit with which Eve her husband did cozen, Well pared, and well chopped, at least half a dozen ; Six ounces of bread, let Moll eat the crust, And crumble the rest as fine as the dust; Six ounces of currants, from the stem you must sort, Lest you break out your teeth, and spoil all the sport; Six ounces of sugar won't make it too sweet, Some salt and some nutmeg will make it complete; Three hours let it boil without any flutter, But Adam won't like it without wine and butter.
