IX.

That is to say, if your religion's Roman,
And you at Rome would do as Romans do,
According to the proverb, ? although no man
If foreign, is obliged to fast; and you
If Protestant, or sickly, or a woman,
Would rather dine in sin on a ragout ?
Dine and be d?d! I don't mean to be coarse,
But that's the penalty, to say no worse.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
