Hi Richard,

I'm not sure how you pronounce porcelain and seen. How about:

The swilling spirit sloshes
till the weaker flesh will win.
Behold, the spineless creature
bent about the porcelain.

instead of:

The swilling spirit washes
till the weakened flesh is seen.
Behold, the spineless creature
bent about the porcelain.

I do see, I think, how your "till the weakened flesh is seen" refers to vomit, but it wasn't easy.

Just a thought,
Jim

***Coming back in to say that the slang term for a drunkard, "Tosspot" may obviously derive from an image of one tossing one's cookies into a pot, a porcelain toilet in most cases in the modern world??
