HOMER in a Nutshell.
Their Backs in form of Snushbox-covers made,
And on their Chests Ebony Eyes inlaid,
Hight Crabs, whose worse than Cornish Gripes alarm
The Mice, and bite away Leg, Tail, and Arm.
Soon cool'd this grisly Pest their active Heat,
And in Disorder forc'd 'em to retreat.
Thus that Campaign which with the Day begun,
Clos'd at the late Immersion of the Sun.
