THE REMEDY WORSE THAN THE DISEASE.
I sent for Ratcliffe; was so ill,
That other doctors gave me over:
He felt my pulse, prescrib'd his pill,
And I was likely to recover.
That other doctors gave me over:
He felt my pulse, prescrib'd his pill,
And I was likely to recover.
But, when the wit began to wheeze,
And wine had warm'd the politician,
Cur'd yesterday of my disease,
I dy'd last night of my physician.
And wine had warm'd the politician,
Cur'd yesterday of my disease,
I dy'd last night of my physician.
