PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE, by AUGUSTUS P. CLARKE First Line: In all complaints that show a threat'ning form Last Line: Where joy and mirth have ever reigned forsooth? Subject(s): Physicians; Doctors | |||
In all complaints that show a threatening form, Put forth your strength, confront the rising storm; Keep well in hand your drugs as useful tools, With pill and chart you may overcome a pain, And diet changed, your health you will regain. Why come we here to linger in this field, To spend long seasons gathering thorny yield, To leave our homes and pleasures of our youth, Where joy and mirth have ever reigned forsooth? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DOCTOR WHO SITS AT THE BEDSIDE OF A RAT by JOSEPHINE MILES EL CURANDERO (THE HEALER) by RAFAEL CAMPO HER FINAL SHOW by RAFAEL CAMPO SONG FOR MY LOVER: 13.
