[There was a rare boy who fell ill]

There was a rare boy who fell ill,
And begged them to give him a pill;
“For my kind parents' sake,
The dose I will take,”
Said this rare little boy who fell ill.

[There was an old doctor of Brille]

There was an old doctor of Brille,
Who gave all his patients a pill.
“It will cure 'em,” he said,
Or else kill 'em dead”—
This skilful old doctor of Brille.
