Refreshment


“Before you begin,” said Peter Peebles, “I’ll thank you to order me a morsel of bread and cheese, or some cauld meat, or broth, or the like alimentary provision.” Scott.—Redgauntlet, Letter XIII.	1
Chafe the limb, and pour the fragrant oil. Scott.—Waverley, Chap. XX.	2
From room to room their eager view they bend: Thence to the bath, a beauteous pile, descend; Where a bright damsel-train attend the guests With liquid odours, and embroider’d vests. Pope.—Odyssey, Book IV. Line 57.	3
Your other task, ye menial train, forbear: Now wash the stranger, and the bed prepare; With splendid palls the downy fleece adorn: Uprising early with the purple morn, His sinews shrunk with age, and stiff with toil, In the warm bath foment with fragrant oil. Pope.—Odyssey, Book XIX. Line 362.	4
The nymph dismiss’d him (odorous garments given.) And bathed in fragrant oils that breathed of heaven. Pope.—Odyssey, Book V. Line 335.	5
The train prepare a cruse of curious mold, A cruse of fragrance, form’d of burnish’d gold; Odour divine! whose soft refreshing streams Sleek the smooth skin, and scent the snowy limbs. Pope.—Odyssey, Book VI. Line 91.	6
