 I do remember an apothecary,
 And hereabouts 'a dwells, which late I noted
  In tatt'red weeds, with overwhelming brows,
   Culling of simples. Meagre were his looks,
    Sharp misery had worn him to the bones;
     And in his needy shop a tortoise hung,
      An alligator stuffed, and other skins
       Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves
        A beggarly account of empty boxes,
         Green earthen pots, bladders, and musty seeds,
          Remnants of packthread, and old cakes of roses
           Were thinly scattered, to make up a show.

 Take a little rum
 The less you take the better
  Pour it in the lakes
   Of Wener or of Wetter.
    Dip a spoonful out
     And mind you don't get groggy,
      Pour it in the lake
       Of Winnipissiogie.
        Stir the mixture well
         Lest it prove inferior,
          Then put half a drop
           Into Lake Superior.
            Every other day
             Take a drop in water,
              You'll be better soon
               Or at least you oughter.
