AHITOPHEL

Come away Disease, and hang up these my trophies, While I with gentle air, Beatrice upon the ears of passengers. I know as much as ere Sambashaw did, That was old Adam's Schoolmaster; for, look you Sir: Sings. Here is a rare Mercurian Pill, And Anodine helps every ill; The Dissenterea, and the Gout, And cures the sniveling in the Snout. The Sick, Or any Crick, Straight cures this Diaphoreticke. The Jew is all your Creature, and his skill He'll willingly bestow upon your gooduesse. Peace knave, I say, these pearls must not feed Porkets. Fear me not. I do confess the Queen of Israel Commanded me to try my utmost skill In this most strong Confection; said it was To prove the force of Simples: I, her Slave, Durst not to disobey her; yet suspect Made me reveal it to this Nobleman. Peace knave I say, here's in this little thing A Jewel priceless, worthy of a King: If any man so bold dare be, Unseen, unknown to cope with me, And give the price which I demand; Here's treasure worth a Monarchs Land. Sirrah, you're saucy. By no means Sir; he that will purchase this, Must pitch and pay; but ask no questions. No, not any; do you think Perfection needs Encomiums? The price is, two thousand Drachma's. The Jew is all your Creature. 'Twas a work My Art brought forth; but never did my thought Touch at your Highness. The Prince Antipater. No matter; I'll have royal company. Well Madam, I must pledge you; yet before, I'll do the King some service: I confess, I did compound the poison; 'twas prepared To kill your Majesty; the Plot was laid Both by Antipater and Salumith: They equally suborned me; each bestowed Reward upon me, and encouragement: Was they which made me to accuse the Queen, I must confess unjustly; they, long since, Have shared you and the Kingdom: that 'tis true, Be this last draught my witness; for no Slave Madly will carry falsehood to his Grave. Come will you buy, for I have here The rarest Gums that ever were; Gold is but dross and Features die, Else Aesculapius tells a lie: But I, Come will you buy, Have Medicines for that Malady. Is there a Lady in this place, Would not be masked, but for her face; Oh do not blush, for here is that Will make your pale cheeks plump and fat. Then why Should I thus cry, And none a Scruple of me buy. Come to me Gallants you whose needs, The common Surgeons cannot read; Here is a Balm will cure all sores, God in Broils, or unwholesome whores. Come away, For why the day, Is passed, and here I cannot stay. Come buy you lusty Gallants These S ples which I fell; In all our days were never seen Like these, For beauty, strength, and smell: Here's the King-cup, the Paunce, with the Violet, The Rose that loves the shower, The wholesome Gillyflower, Both the Cowslip, Lily, And the Daffadilly; With a thousand in my power. Why where are all my Customers? none come buy Of the rare Jew that sells etern ty? Here's golden Amaranthus, That true Love can provoke; Of Horehound store, and poisoning Elebore, With the Polipode of the Oak: Here's chased Veruine and lustful Eringo, Health-preserving Sage, And Rue, which cures old Age; With a world of others, Making fruitful Mother's: All these attend me as my Page. Come buy, come buy, unknown, unseen, The b st that is, or ere hath been: He than, not asking what, dare cope, May buy a wealth passed thought, passed hope. Come buy, Come buy, &c. There's reason f r my Lord, then know y'aue here The strongest quickest killingst poison, which Learning or Art ere uttered; for one drop Kills sooner then a Canon; yet so safe And free from all suspicion, that no eye Shall see or swelling, pustule, or disease, Rage or affrighting torment: but as death were Kissing and not killing, hence they go Wrapped up in happy Slumbers.
