EPIGRAM: 118. ON GUT, by BEN JONSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Gut eats all day and lechers all the night Last Line: Lust it comes out, that gluttony went in. Subject(s): Gluttony | |||
Gut eats all day and lechers all the night; So all his meat he tasteth over twice; And, striving so to double his delight, He makes himself a thoroughfare of vice. Thus in his belly can he change a sin: Lust it comes out, that gluttony went in. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
