Grocott & Ward, comps.  Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed.  189-?.
 
Fasting
 
Who can believe with common sense,
A bacon slice gives God offence;
Or, how a herring hath a charm
Almighty vengeance to disarm?
Wrapt up in majesty divine,
Does he regard on what we dine?
        Swift.—Epigram from the French.
