    Poor Tom, that eats the swimming frog, the toad, the todpole, the
    wall-newt and the water; that in the fury of his heart, when the
    foul fiend rages, eats cow-dung for sallets, swallows the old rat
    and the ditch-dog, drinks the green mantle of the standing pool;
    who is whipped from tithing to tithing, and stock-punished and
    imprisoned; who hath had three suits to his back, six shirts to
    his body,
    Horse to ride, and weapon to wear,
    But mice and rats, and such small deer,
    Have been Tom's food for seven long year.

"Good, well-dress'd turtle beats them hollow,--
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."
