Were reckon’d most delicious boil’d and roast:
But stomachs are so cloy’d with novel-feeding,
Folks get a vitiated taste in reading,
And want that strong provocative, a Ghost.
“Or, to come nearer,
And put the case a little clearer:—
Mind, just like bodies, suffer enervation,
By too much use;
And sink into a state of relaxation,
With long abuse.
