[143]
     The one could not hear
Thoa a cannon were near,
     The others are holes with no sight in.

Her sinciput lies
     Just over her eyes,
Not far from the bone parietal;
     The crown of her head,
Be it vulgarly said,
     Is shaped like the back of a beetle.

Destructiveness great
     Combines with conceit
In the form of this wonderful noddle,
     But benevolence, you know,
And a large philopro
     Give a great inclination to coddle.

And so on.
