An Epitaph on Dr. Kirleus of Grays-Inn-Lane, occasion'd by his Friends reporting him only gone into the Country.
The famous Kirleus, Collegiate Physician,As cheap a Practitioner as you cou'd wish one,
Who only with Diet-Drink, and a few Pills,
Cur'd Gout, Stone, and Pox, and a Thousand more Ills;
Is gone to the Country Infernal with Physick,
To cure Rhadamanthus, they say of the Tissick.
Let not Nendick then brag,
Of his Tetrachymag,
Nor himself Tillburg prize on,
Drinking Bumpers of Poyson.
So useful a Doctor our Youngsters will miss,
He hinder'd no Business, till Death hinder'd his.
A Journey thus tedious all Sporters may mourn,
For 'tis Forty to One that he'll never return.
