Without a stomach what were a good name?
XV.
"O dura ilia messorum!"[488]—"Oh
Ye rigid guts of reapers!" I translate[IW]
For the great benefit of those who know
What indigestion is—that inward fate
Which makes all Styx through one small liver flow.
A peasant's sweat is worth his lord's estate:
Let this one toil for bread—that rack for rent,
He who sleeps best may be the most content.
