Whoever has recourse to thee
Can hope for health no more,
He's launched into perdition's sea,
A sea without a shore.
Where'er admission thou canst gain,
Where'er thy phiz can pierce,
At once the Doctor they retain,
The mourners and the hearse.
_George_.
[37] Written to Abou Alchair Selamu, an Egyptian physician. The author
was a physician of Antioch.
