And we purchase the gift of new pow’rs,

The draught that allays and recovers,

The boons and the blessings that rain

On the livers and lungs of thy lovers,

Exorcist of Pain!

What care though disease be a fixture

Which for ages has baffled all skill,

Thou art more than the famous blood mixture,

Superior to Cockle’s best pill;

Thou canst cast out disordered secretion,
