Who foolishly consu's
Another man, in hopes to md
Such magical results,
As when o pretty woman lays
Her hand upon his pulse!
I had q strange disorder once,
A kind Of chronic chill,
That all the doctors In the town
With all their vaunted skill
Could never cure, Pm very sure
With powder nor with pill

Nor II they thought 1t mortal

lady came-her presence brought
The blood into my ears:
She took my hand-and something like
A fever now appears!
Great Galen IL was all glow,
Though I'D been cold for years.
Perhaps It isn't every case
That's fairly In her reach,
But should e'er be Ill again,
fervently beseech
That may have, In life or death,
A lady for my ssLeech."
