EPIGRAM LXXI.
[A Rum Doctor affirms, by a method cocksure]
Κρυσεα χαλκειων.
A Rum Doctor affirms, by a method cocksure,
That in spite of your joints, all your gout he can cure:
210
Be aware how he hazards the making bad, worse:
Ev'n brass for your gold, with a quack you don't share;
His is all in his forehead—and that he can't spare.
