"Insensible the palate of old age, More difficult than the soft lips of youth, To move, I put much mustard in their dish; With quickening sauces make their stupor keen, And lash the lazy blood that moves within." Anthippus in The Deipnosophists; or, Banquet of the Learned of Athenæus, by Athenaeus of Naucratis
