[When Maddam Minsitt at hir table sitts]

When Maddam Minsitt at hir table sitts
Shee seemes to straine to swallowe downe small bitts
If shee but cram a larkes thighe downe hir bellie
Shee Streakes, cryes shees soe full, shee burst-shall wellie
Praie aske hir Foole (shee being out a sight)
What greate bitts then must serue hir appetite
Bitts then indeed, Indeed then in hir bellie
Bitts of a pound hir foole doth putt-in wellie.
