- The Poets wanted no sport the while; who made themselves bitterly merry with descanting upon the lean skulls, and the fat paunches of these lazy gutlings: there was fleshhold enough for the rhyming Satyrists and the Wits of those times, whereon to fasten the sorest and the strongest teeth they had.1854, Robert Sanderson (bp. of Lincoln.), William Jacobson (bp. of Chester), The works of Robert Sanderson
