Let your quacks and newspapers be cutting their capers
About curing the vapors the scratch and the gout
With their medical potions, their serums and their lotions
Upholding their notions, they're mighty put out.

For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys

Ever gave their own bowers such a darling perfume
