DOCTOR CRICKET.

Dear Tom, I do not like your look,

Your brows are (see the poets) bent;

You're biting hard on Tedium's hook,

You're jaundiced, crumpled, footled, spent.

What's worse, so mischievous your state

You have no pluck to try and trick it.

Here! Cram this cap upon your pate

And come with me to Doctor Cricket!
