"As solid Shores contain the liquid Seas, / Just so the Stomach, a soft watry Mass, / Stagnates beneath and fills the lower Space: / Here, Winds, and Rains, and humid Vapours lie, / And these exhal'd with Heat, all upwards fly: / As mantling Clouds conceal the fickly Sun, / Dissolve in Dew and drive the Tempest down: / So when thick Humours from the Stomach rise, / They damp the Soul, and sprightly Faculties: / Then Night and Death their gloomy Shades display, / Till the bright Spark within, the heav'nly Ray, / Dispels the Darkness, and restores the Day"
