A book for boys and girls

or, Country Rhimes for Children. By J. B. [John Bunyan]

Purging Physick, taken to heat or cool,
Worketh by Vomit, Urine, Sweat or Stool;
But if it worketh not, then we do fear
The danger's great, the Person's Death is near.
If more be added, and it worketh not;
And more, and yet the same's the Patients Lot.
All hope of Life from Standers-by is fled,
The Party sick is counted now as dead.
