TO DR EMPIRIC by THOMAS RANDOLPH

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN MEN A DANGEROUS DISEASE DID 'SCAPE
Last Line: FROM MY DISEASE'S DANGER -- AND FROM THEE!
Subject(s): DISEASE; PHYSICIANS; DOCTORS;
WHEN men a dangerous disease did 'scape
Of old, they gave a cock to Esculape.
Let me give two, that doubly am got free,
From my disease's danger -- and from thee!
