With lantern jaws, and cooking guy, See how the half-starved Frenchmen strut, And call us English dogs! But soon we'll teach these bragging foes, That beef and beer give heavier blows, Than soup and roasted frogs.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "With lantern jaws, and cooking guy, See how the half-starved Frenchmen strut, And call us English dogs! But soon we'll teach these bragging foes, That beef and beer give heavier blows, Than soup and roasted frogs." in the context of "David Garrick, poem printed in Hogarth's The Invasion, Plate 1, 'France' (1756), quoted in The Works of William Hogarth, Containing One Hundred and Fifty-nine Engravings, Vol. I (1821), p. 128" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
