I suspect the choice of the right word might depend on the allusion being made in the poem, if you have it all. Use of "pétrir" suggests that his portliness is compared to bread (quite why, though, I fail to understand), so "broyer" could well apply to the MILLING of the corn to make the flour to make that bread ... But it could be something else ...
