Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Cooks

Are these the choice dishes the doctor has sent us?
Is this the great poet whose works so content us?
This Goldsmith’s fine feast, who has written fine books?
Heaven sends us good meat, but the Devil sends cooks.
Garrick.—On Goldsmith’s “Retaliation.”
