Upon his shoulders through the fire.
Our knight did bear no less a pack
Of his own buttocks on his back."

[233] "Quoth Hudibras, I smell a rat.
Ralpho, thou dost prevaricate;
For though the thesis which thou

Be true ad amussim as thou say'st
(For that bear-baiting should appear

Both are unlawful, I deny."
Part I. canto 1. lines 821-834.
