froth

One lacquey carried the chocolate-pot into the sacred presence; a second, milled and frothed the chocolate with the little instrument he bore for that function; a third, presented the favoured napkin; a fourth (he of the two gold watches), poured the chocolate out.

Colder and louder blew the wind,

A gale from the Northeast,

The snow fell hissing in the brine,

And the billows frothed like yeast.

The Mufti reddens; mark that holy cheek.

He frets within, froths treason at his mouth,

And churns it thro’ his teeth […]

The clumsy suckling struck out with her still soft claws,

opened her frothing mouth until her milk teeth shone.

A horse froths his chain.
