Seventy-nine is in the best of health Even as he relishes excess. Vast quantities of fat and alcohol, Embellished well with sugar, salt, and gall, New flood him every day with happiness. Then he settles down to cigarettes, Yielding every time to pleasure's call.   Nor does he visit doctors, for the less Involved he is with medicine, the more Natural his commerce with himself, Exemplified by butter best of all.
