I should like to ascertain the author of the following:

_The Parson_ versus _Physician_.

"How D.D. swaggers--M.D. rolls!

I dub them both a brace of noddies:--

Old D.D. takes the cure of souls,

And M.D. takes the care of bodies.

Between them both what treatment rare

Our souls and bodies must endure!

One takes the _cure_ without the _care_,

T'other the _care_ without the _cure_."
