The wine and water may be heating; But when it comes to boiling heat. The yolks and whites together beat With half a pint of water more— Mixing them well,then gently pour

Into the skillet with the wine. And stir it briskly all the time. Then pour it off into a pitcher; Grate nutmeg in to make it richer. Then drink it hot,for he's a fool. Wholets such precious liquor cool.
