A poem by Alexander Pope (1688-1744) , the greatest English poet of “Augustan” or Georgian period
So when Curll’s Stomach the strong Drench o’ercame,
(Infus’d in Vengenance of insulted Fame)
Th’ Avenger sees, with a delighted Eye,
His long Jaws open, and his Colour fly;
And while his Guts the keen Emeticks urge,
Smiles on the Vomit, and enjoys the Purge.
