Frank carves very ill, yet will palm all the meats; <br />He eats more than six, and drinks more than he eats. <br />Four pipes after dinner he constantly smokes, <br />And seasons his whiffs with impertinent jokes: <br />Yet sighing, he says we must certainly break, <br />And my cruel unkindness compels him to speak, <br />For of late I invite him - but four times a week.<br /><br />Matthew Prior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/epigram-frank-carves-very-ill/
