Many were met, men of discretion,
wisdom and wit, when in there walked. . .
Two ears it had, and one eye solo,
two feet and twelve hundred heads,
back, belly, a brace of hands
a pair of sides and shoulders and arms
and one neck. Name, please.
--Translated by Michael Alexander:
"twelve hundred heads..." that's a lot of garlic...
