Tho' famed was Mesmer in his day	A
Nor less so in ours is Dupotet	A
To say nothing of all the wonders done	B
By that wizard Dr Elliotson	B
When standing as if the gods to invoke he	C
Up waves his arm and down drops Okey	C
Tho' strange these things to mind and sense	D
If you wish still stranger things to see	C
If you wish to know the power immense	D
Of the true magnetic influence	E
Just go to her Majesty's Treasury	C
And learn the wonders working there	F
And I'll be hanged if you don't stare	F
Talk of your animal magnetists	E
And that wave of the hand no soul resists	E
Not all its witcheries can compete	A
With the friendly beckon towards Downing Street	A
Which a Premier gives to one who wishes	E
To taste of the Treasury loaves and fishes	E
It actually lifts the lucky elf	G
Thus acted upon above himself	G
He jumps to a state of clairvoyance	E
And is placeman statesman all at once	E
	-
These effects observe with which I begin	B
Take place when the patient's motioned in	B
Far different of course the mode of affection	B
When the wave of the hand's in the out direction	B
The effects being then extremely unpleasant	A
As is seen in the case of Lord Brougham at present	A
In whom this sort of manipulation	B
Has lately produced such inflammation	B
Attended with constant irritation	B
That in short not to mince his situation	B
It has workt in the man a transformation	B
That puzzles all human calculation	B
Ever since the fatal day which saw	E
That pass performed on this Lord of Law	E
A pass potential none can doubt	A
As it sent Harry Brougham to the right about	A
The condition in which the patient has been	B
Is a thing quite awful to be seen	B
Not that a casual eye could scan	B
This wondrous change by outward survey	A
It being in fact the interior man	B
That's turned completely topsy turvy	C
Like a case that lately in reading o'er 'em	H
I found in the Acta Eruditorum	H
Of a man in whose inside when disclosed	A
The whole order of things was found transposed	A
By a lusus naturae strange to see	C
The liver placed where the heart should be	C
And the spleen like Brougham's since laid on the shelf	G
As diseased and as much out of place as himself	G
	-
In short 'tis a case for consultation	B
If e'er there was one in this thinking nation	B
And therefore I humbly beg to propose	E
That those savans who mean as the rumor goes	E
To sit on Miss Okey's wonderful case	E
Should also Lord Parry's case embrace	E
And inform us in both these patients' states	E
Which ism it is that predominates	E
Whether magnetism and somnambulism	H
Or simply and solely mountebankism	H
