Where ’mongst their linking roles, I’me forc’d to wade:

Whose neckes like legs are round, their bodies strong,

With blacke-spred backes, their length full two yards long:

Yet whilst I cut, and crush their warbling wombe,

I point their death, their skin, I make their tombe.

But worst I’me hungerbit, and starving slaine

With pinching want, a sore-sunke gnawing paine:

O helplesse torture! second’d with great drouth

And fiery thirst, that scabbe my lips and mouth:

Where for fine lyquor, as my heart would wish,
