The doctor stares; her woman curtsies low,

And cries, "My lady, Sir, is always so:

Diversions put her maladies to flight:

True, she can't stand, but she can dance all night:

I've known my lady (for she loves a tune)

For fevers take an opera in June:

And, tho' perhaps you'll think the practice bold,

A midnight park is sov'reign for a cold:

With cholics, breakfasts of green fruit agree;

With indigestions, supper just at three."
