On a Gentleman who ran mad with Love of a Physician's Daughter.
Employ'd to cure a love-distracted Swain,The boasted aid of Hellebore is vain;
None but the Fair the storm she rais'd, can calm;
Her smiles the cordial, and her tears the balm:
In Cynthia's bosom dwells the Magic pow'r,
Sov'reign to heal, and vital to restore:
But, oh! what medicine e'er could reach the heart?
The Daughter's eyes have foil'd the Father's art:
For, matchless were the learn'd Physician's skill,
If he could save as fast as she can kill.
