THE GOUT.

OLD Testy, a rich country lout,
To wine and good victuals a friend,
Was troubled with fits of the Gout,
And compelled for a Doctor to send.
The Doctor, a spruce debonair,
Had his boots cleared with ifrarrra's rich Id,
A bloom all delightful and fair,
On bisbuots by that Bladieg was set.
The moment he entered the room,
Old Testy was struck with a terror,
For in the boot/beautiful bloom,
Glow'd a visieo that thrilril him with horror.
" Hence, horrible sbadowl" be said—
The Doctor stood dumb with amass—
Till he found Warren's Biding display'd
The old fellow's rubicon tace.
He forgot be was sick of the gout—
He flew from hie huge elbow chair—
And he jumped and he capee'd about,
Like one driven wild with despair.
He jump'd and petspir'd till the Gout
Was fairly jvmp'd out of his toe,
Ter the cootie of his fear he found out,
Wiia kis fate *hewn by Warmer rich glows
Ana Tat found a recipe out,"
• Said the Doctor," my brain's lons been main—.
That the best of all ways for the Gout.
Is vto fright it with Ihrarrsa's Jrl Bla,liaj 1"
