I’m certain none of Hogarth’s sketches
E’er formed a set of stranger wretches.
Among the rest see Doctor Slop,[18]
An emblem of a physic shop:
So sour, so nauseous, so splenetic,
A bolus, blister, or emetic;
Decoction, julep, pill and drop
Are typified in Doctor Slop.
His bones with flesh how poorly clad!
How like a map his visage sad![19]
