Then the foul monster, Gluttony,

Of wame insatiable and greedy,

To Dance he did him dress:

Him followit mony foul drunkart,

With can and collop, cup and quart,

In surfit and excess;

Full mony a waistless wally-drag,

With wames unweildable, did furth wag,

In creesh[140] that did incress:

Drink! aye they cried, with mony a gaip,

The fiends gave them het lead to laip,

Their leveray was na less.[141]
