On Doctor Emperick
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
Wise Emperick can all diseases cure,
His Physick though't be strong it worketh sure:
A litte mors in ollâ which expels
Disease and life together, nothing els.
Happy thy patient, you dispatch him quick;
Your mighty art won't let him long be sick.
