ON THE CURE OF THE HEADACHE, BY DANCING WITH A YOUNG LADY.
Quack doctors too often their patients deceive,
By boasted pretensions to skill;
And while they the present disorder relieve,
Fix some more incurable ill.
Thus Celia by dancing, my headache reliev'd,
And I vainly applauded her art;
Till at length the fair mountebank's cheat I perc'd.
For the pain is now fix'd in my heart.
