Content, Not Cates

Robert Herrick (1591-1674) (1591โ€“1674)

'Tis not the food, but the contentThat makes the table's merriment.Where trouble serves the board, we eatThe platters there as soon as meat.A little pipkin with a bitOf mutton or of veal in it,Set on my table, trouble-free,More than a feast contenteth me.
