    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.

If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner,
And take to light claret instead of pale ale;
Look down with an utter contempt upon butter,
And never touch bread till its toasted--or stale.

A very man--not one of nature's clods--
With human failings, whether saint or sinner:
Endowed perhaps with genius from the gods
But apt to take his temper from his dinner.
