RABELAIS TO THE READER.

ELsewhere, I taught Physicians doubtful Skill, Like other Doctors, how to cure or kill: Here is my Nostrum, that can ne're miscarry; For all I here prescribe, is to be merry▪ One Dram of Mirth will sooner mend thy Crasis, Than twenty bitter Draughts, with scurvy Faces. Let Chymist or the Galenist prevail; Yet sure a Course of Mirth is worth 'em all. No Drug, nor Hellebore, no Rhubarb safe; O still, the only Physick is to laugh: To which, if this small Book cannot provoke thee, Let Pills, let Bolus, Quack, or Ratcliff choke thee.
