- Or any washing teeth to shine o'er much,
- Yet thy incessant grin I would not see,
- For naught than laughter silly sillier be.
- Thou Celtiber art, in Celtiberia born,
- Where man who's urined therewith loves a-morn
- His teeth and ruddy gums to scour and score;
- So the more polisht are your teeth, the more
- Argue they sipping stale in ampler store.
