A
Spitch-cocke, or roasted Eele turn'd to a Bull
There
was a great Dispute held amongst good fellows once, of what thing in
the
world would live longest after exquisite and extreame Torments: the
Judgement
was generall, that it was an Eele, for first hee would live after his
head
was off; after he was flay'd, after hee had his entrailes and heart
taken
out, after he was cut in peeces, yet every peece would have life in it,
after it was laid on the Gridyron: Then one of the company said, I doe
approove of your opinions; for an Eele doth live longer after hee is
dead,
than any other thing that ever liv'd on the earth.
