Rich wines and spices waste!

Like sturgeon, or like brawn, shall I

Drown'd in a precious pickle lie,

Which I can never taste!

"Let me embalm this flesh of mine

With turtle fat and Bourdeaux wine,

And spoil the Egyptian trade;

Than Humphrey's Duke, more happy I—

Embalm'd alive, old Quin shall die,

A mummy ready made."
