Rare Receipts song lyrics by Hack-Poets Guild official

Rare Receipts is a song in English

I’ll sing to you a Recipe
, with the force to stir Love's glee,

And he who merely tastes of it, will think the World of thee;


It is quite well approved of
 in France and also Spain,


It sets Hearts beating actively
 and shoots Love through the Veins;



First take nine drops of Honey Squeezed from a Wild-Oak


& the Eyes of a Phoenix that’s been dried over the smoke,

& Boil these both together now in Milk that’s from a Bull,

Stir in 3 pounds of Butter
 that's been Churned up from Snow.



Now take Nine Ounces of Amber Distilled straight from the Air,


And with three whole Grains of Thunder that's been stopped up in a Jar
,

Bruise it well with a Mortar now and lick it with your Tongue,


Add three pints of freshest Cream
 that from the Queen's Bosom has come



Take the wool of a Lobster and the Branch that the Dove found,

The very same it brought to Noah when the whole World it was drown'd,

Now Tie these up in a bundle all and Steep them deep in Whey
,

That's still hot from the Cow after two nights and a day.



Well it causes Man or Woman so madly to Dote,

That once they lay their eyes upon you no errors will they note
,

So excellent are it’s Virtues that any He or She,

Who merely tastes of it shall lay their Heart on Thee,

And when you’ve tasted from it
 you shall Lay your Heart on me.

Lay your Heart on me.
