The Pearl/Volume 5/The Triumph of Science Over Physic.

by Printed for the Society of Vice

Home they brought the warrior, fed
To repletion more than just;
And the servants, chuckling, said.
"He must shit or he will bust."

Then they gave him castor oil.
Pills and drugs of many a sort;
Yet despite their loving toil,
He would not be taken short.

Stole a maiden to the spot.
And emetics, laughing, dared;
Yet in vain she held the pot,
For he only belched and glared.

Came a nurse of ninety years.
An enema huge she bore;
Shoved it up amidst their jeers,
And he shat for evermore.
