Notes |
Text: Thou Esculapian, half-starved wretch, / Thou nostrum vender of the pill, / The Sexton's friend -- thou shar'st his fees
/ With victims that thy physic kill. / Unfit to tend an ailing cat, / Or to a jackass give relief: / Thou'll' ne'er suit me,
you nauseous spook, / Of human lives a legal thief.
