Quoth the goblin, "Eat no more!"

And that fat Goose, never flitting, like a nightmare still is sitting

With me all the night emitting words that thrill my bosom's core,

Now throughout the Christmas season, while I lie and gasp and wheeze, on

Me he sits until my reason nothing surely can restore,

While that Goose says, "Eat no more!"

Punch.
