Apothecary, n.
[When Jove sent blessings to all men that are]
When Jove sent blessings to all men that are,And Mercury conveyed them in a jar,
That friend of tricksters introduced by stealth
Disease for the apothecary's health,
Whose gratitude impelled him to proclaim:
“My deadliest drug shall bear my patron's name!”
G. J.
