And never look’d to reason for his guide:

Could he have wisely view’d the frailty shown,

And rightly weigh’d their wanderings and his own,

That doctrines sound and sober they may teach,

Who love to eat with all the glee they preach;

Nay! who believe the duck, the grape, the pine,

Were not intended for the dog and swine:
