That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth.

Discord, a sleepless hag who never dies,
With Snipe-like nose, and Ferret-glowing eyes,
Lean sallow cheeks, long chin with beard supplied,
Poor crackling joints, and wither'd parchment hide,
As if old Drums, worn out with martial din,
Had clubb'd their yellow Heads to form her Skin.
Author: Dr. John Wolcot (Wolcott) (used pseudonym Peter Pindar)
Source: The Louisad (canto III, l. 121)
