EPIGRAM by JOHN BYROM

Poet Analysis

First Line: TO GIVE REPROOF IN ANGER, TO BE SURE
Last Line: THE SICK HIS POTION SCALDING HOT TO DRINK?
Subject(s): ANGER;
TO give reproof in anger, to be sure,
Whate'er the fault, is not the way to cure:
Would a wise doctor offer, dost thou think,
The sick his potion scalding hot to drink?
