And rank is twist, which gives no end of pain;
I know not which is ranker, no, not I.
'Plug, art thou rank? then milder twist must be;
Plug, thou art milder: rank is twist to me.
O twist, if plug be milder, let me buy.
'Rank twist that seems to make me fade away,
Rank plug, that navvies smoke in loveless clay,
I know not which is ranker, no, not I.
'I fain would purchase flake, if that could be;
I needs must purchase plug, ah, woe is me!
