“He’s had his fill, when he the banquet leaves; / He’s eat too much - his stomach heaves: / His rich and dainty food, how much he loathes, / The monstrous load now from his stomach flowers; / Nature’s relieved - she teaches thus quite plain, / To eat too much of good things, brings much pain."—Barber, 1857
