   with mirth and sport we do resort
   to the most divartful play
   and with our great nations fill
   with terror and dismay

   Yes her I am a doctor pure and good
   but yet my fee 'too not so low
   To cure a maner object for that I would not let go
   let me receive wan thousand pounds and then I will go bail
   Mahaned's wounds to dress and case
   and make him sound and hale
   work on me man I'll see you paid
   and till if life remains
   for full and fast his blood do flow
   three house he has bear slain
   he has received a deep and deadly wound
   but still his vital parts are sound
   I've oft seen persons in worse condition
   being restored by a good physician
   amongst imposters like you I've seen
   pray doctor dear, where have you been?
   First I took me way to Mount Malley
   where there I've spent a full half year
   London temple it being high
   it on me way I passed it by
