A POEM. 59 



Of golden sulphur of antimony 

 Likewise to mix with these (when all you buy) 

 Of grains four more ; this dose each other day, 

 With confidence, a full grown dog you may 

 Expect to cure : and if your canine friend 

 Is plagued with such as tow'rds the anus tend, 

 Inflate the part with strong tobacco smoke, 

 The latent reptiles e'er find this no joke ; 

 For, by this vapour, you their deaths suborn, 

 And see when next he voids, their lifeless form. 

 Dried walnut leaves, two tea-spoon's full, will prove 

 Also sure means these harpies to remove, 

 If giv'n in half a pint of milk that's boil'd 

 And seldom those who try it e'er are foil'd ; 

 Offer it not in grease, you'd find that wrong, 

 They never take it, th' odour 's much too strong; 

 These leaves innoxious are to man and beast, 

 But not a grub was ever known to feast 

 Their juices on ; th' infusion 's known to raise, 

 From whence on earth it 's pour'd, with mute amaze,
