On Dr. Lower, who was observed to be grown
good-natur'd a little before his Death. By another hand.
Had not good humour o'er the ill prevail'd,
Death in attempting Dr. Lower had fail'd;
For he, alas, good Man, in Health declin'd,
By changing the bad Manners of his Mind:
And's very Understanding got a Cough,
By leaving an old Habit too soon off.
For had he kept his Humour most austere,
He might have yet liv'd with us many a Year,
Preserv'd in his own Pickle, Vinegar:
But when the Alkali had kill'd the sow'r,
His Blood being sweeten'd, off troopt Dr. Lower.
