    It almost makes me wish, I vow,
    To have two stomachs, like a cow!"
    And lo! as with the cud, an inward thrill
    Upheaved his waistcoat and disturb'd his frill,
    His mouth was oozing, and he work'd his jaw--
    "I almost that that I could eat one raw."

Or as the heresies that men do leave
Are hated most of those they did deceive,
So thou, my surfeit and my heresy,
Of all be hated, but the most of me!

dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

Oh, herbaceous treat!
'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat;
Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting soul,
And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl;
Serenely full the epicure would say,
"Fate cannot harm me,--I have dined to-day."
