quot Ambubaiarum Collegia Pharmacopei quotA
-
-
HoraceB
-
If the health and the strength and the pure vital breathC
Of old England at last must be doctor'd to deathC
Oh why must we die of one doctor aloneD
And why must that doctor be just such a oneE
As Doctor Henry AddingtonE
-
-
Oh where is the great Doctor DominicettiA
With his stews and his flues and his vapours to sweat yeF
O where is that Prince of all Mountebank fameG
With his baths of hot earth and his beds of hot nameG
Oh where is Doctor GrahamH
-
-
Where are Sonmambule Mesmer's convulsions magneticI
Where is Myersbach renown'd for his skills diureticI
Where is Perkins with tractors of magical skillJ
Where's the anodyne necklace of Basil BurchellK
Oh where is the great Van ButchellK
-
-
Where's Sangrado Rush so notorious for bleedingsB
Where's Rumford so famed for his writings and readingsB
Where's that Count of the Kettle that friend to the bellyK
So renown'd for transforming old bones into jellyK
Where too is the great Doctor KellyK
-
-
While Sam Solomon's lotion the public abstergesB
He gives them his gold as well as his purgesB
But our frugal doctor this practice to shunE
Gives his pills to the public the Pells to his SonE
Oh fie fie Doctor AddingtonE
Oh where is Doctor SolomonE
-
-
Where are all the great Doctors No longer we wantA
This farrago of cowardice cunning and cantA
These braggarts that one moment know not what fear isB
And the next moment trembling no longer know where isB
Lord Hawkesbury's march to ParisB
-
-
Then for Hobart and Sullivan Hawkey and HerveyL
For Wallace and Castlereagh Bleeke and GlenbervieL
For Sergeant Vansittart Monkhouse and LeeK
Gives us Velno and Anderson Locke SpilsburyM
Doctor Ball Doctors Brodum and BreeM
-
-
And instead of the jack pudding bluster of SherryM
With his quot dagger of lath quot and his speeches so merryM
Let us bring to the field every foe to appalK
Aldini's galvanic deceptions and allK
The slight of hand tricks of Conjuror ValK
-
-
So shall Golding and Bond the Doctor's tall yeomenE
Dame Hiley Dame Bragge and the other old WomenE
For new mountebanks changed their old tricks bid farewell toA
And to the famed D'Ivernois his arithmetic sell toA
That wonderful wonder the great KatterfeltoA
-
-
So shall England escaped from her quot safe politicians quotA
Such an army array of her quacks and physiciansB
Such lotions and potions pills lancets and leechesB
That Massena shall tremble our coasts when he reachesB
And the Consul himself his breechesB

George Canning
