Terence, this is stupid stuff:
You eat your victuals fast enough;

To see the rate you drink your beer.

It gives a chap the belly-ache.
The cow, the old cow, she is dead;
It sleeps well the horned head:
We poor lads, 'tis our turn now
To hear such tunes as killed the cow.
Pretty friendship 'tis to rhyme
Your friends to death before their time.
Moping, melancholy mad:
Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.
                -- A.E. Housman
There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it
reluctantly.
