WARREN versus PHYSIC!
OR, THE DOCTOR SUPERSEDED.
HIS image in \V Ault E N's Jet lustre reflected,
Poor Sambo, to frequent oppression subjected,
Now gsz'd on the Boots with amazement aghast ;
They stood in the room, and his master in bed :
" Ab, ba!" by the visions, as quickly he sped,
The Devil him send for my Abila at last!"
Half stared by a quinsey, with mind much slisordeed,
And feelings unworn, on compunction that bunked,
Well, Sambo, I'm going to die, I believe !"
" iss, Massa, me know, by the Old One bespoke!"
The Planter, while smiling assent to the joke,
" I feel, my good lad, and with sorrow perceive
The cause of your anger,—l'm harsh and uncivil?"
" In, ,Massa, you flugga me still like a Devil!"
" I leave you your freedom, to make you amends!
And, Ssmbo, I hope we sh.sll part as kind Mende;
At least, your good will I'll endeavour to gain it,
A wish unfulfill'd, then, express, and obtain it!"
" Much tank you, and S.unbo one favour will crave,
When dead, let him bury 'long side of your grave !
Old Devil him come, and when Muse him find,
So pined him forget, and leave Sambo behind!
Him come for his own proper time when it suits,
His two Pickaninnies are now in your Boots!"
Each Hoot in his image while Sambo display's!,
A burst of loud laughter the Planter attacking,
Restorative found its the Jet's glossy shade :
Su pat came the joke, the quiets" now broke,
And Massa and Sands° both live to Invoke
On Waaasit's high fortune and fame on Ms Blacking !
