3720Last, a tough cheese must lock the stomach's door,

Milked from a cow that fed on naught but burrs,

Had lain five winters on [a] spongy floor,

To gain an harness and a coat of furs;

So neatly peopled too, 'twas judg'd a court,

Such herds of gentles did about it sport.

Qualmish Bellama could not eat a bit,

'Cause luscious meats a surfeit soon provoke.

Albino vent'red but was fain to spit,

Lest those harsh viands should his monkship choke.
