Seek succor, fetch grain out of Sicily,

Nay, throw mill and bakehouse wide open—

Such misery followed as no pen

Of mine shall depict ye. Faint, fainter

Waxed hope of relief: so, our painter,

Emboldened by triumph of recency,

How could he do other with decency

Than rush in this strait to the rescue,

Play schoolmaster, point as with fescue

To each and all slips in Man's spelling
