Rack his white head, and fire his feverous pulse;

Till kind Cordelia soothes his soul to rest,

And folds the parent-monarch to her breast.

Thus some fair spinster grieves in wild affright,

Vexed with dull megrim, or vertigo light;

Pleased round the fair, Three dawdling doctors stand,

Wave the white wig, and stretch the asking hand,

175

State the grave doubt, the nauseous draught decree,
