Your appetite is gross;—your god's your belly;—

Your mind, your very, soul, incorpsed with gluttony,

Till you have lost all shame.—J. Bailey.


Aristophanes. (Book i. § 55, p. 50.)

For the Athenian people neither love

Harsh crabbed bards, nor crabbed Pramnian wines,

Which pinch the face up and the belly too;

But mild, sweet-smelling, nectar-dropping cups.—Walsh.
