ON READING THE DOCTOR'S IMPROMPTU.

A junto, Doctor? No, 'tis one

Who makes,--though hundreds share--the fun;

He heeds you not. Your "rod" provide:

'Twill serve to sting your own b-cks-de.

Yourself shall be "dismay'd" and "sore,"

As from your breech descends the gore;

And, as I flog with stroke uncivil,

I shall be "Lincoln," you the "Devil."

Again, Sir!--you know where to place it,--

I say "Qui capit, ille facit."
