Original text and translations

English.png English text

Pox on you for a Fop, your Stomach too queasy.
Cannot I Belch and Fart, you Coxcomb, to ease me?
What if I let fly in your Face, and shall please ye?

Fogh, fogh, how sour he smells, now he's at it again;
Out ye Beast, I never met so nasty a Man.
I'm not able to bear it. What the Devil d'ye mean?

No less than a Caesar decree'd with great reason,
No restraint should be laid on the Bum or the Weason,
For Belching and Farting were always in season.
