EXAMPLE
"...Why sitteth Gregorius, "servus servorum,"
Thus in a brown study with demons cerulean?
Why banquets he not on those plats epicurean?
Those viands delicious
Would tempt an Apicius,
Or the stomach silicious of our Dionysius,
LL.D., Stincomal. Arbiter Morum.
Those cheeses Etrurian, and boarheads Apulean -
Those flasks of Falernian, and cans cerevicious -
Those haunches and hams,
Pies, jellies, and jams,
Would charm a Vitellius' pharynx, or Lamb's..."
