On Fat Peg.

MArg'ret doth muse how she so fat becomes,
That eats but once a day, to wit all day;
Her Brests like Balloons, & like Globes her Bums,
One sleep serves her all night; that is to say,

All night she sleeps, she snores, she farts, past care, Thus fares it with our Margaret, or great Mare.
