to Ould Aysculapius. _Chorus_ He and his wig wid the curls so carroty, Aigle eye, and complexion clarety: Here's to his health, Honor and wealth, The king of his kind and the crame of all charity! How the rich and the poor, To consult for a cure, Crowd on to his doore in their carts and their carriages, Showin' their tongues Or unlacin' their lungs, For divle one symptom the docther disparages. Troth, an' he'll tumble, For high or for humble, From his warm feather-bed wid no cross contrariety; Makin' as light Of nursin' all night The beggar in rags as the belle of society. _Chorus_--He and his wig, etc. And as if by a meracle, Ailments hysterical, Dad, wid one dose of bread-pills he can smother, And quench the love-sickness Wid wonderful quickness, By prescribin' the right boys and girls to aich other. And the sufferin' childer-- Your eyes 'twould bewilder To see the wee craythurs his coat-tails unravellin', And aich of them fast On some treasure at last, Well knowin' ould Mack's just a toy-shop out travellin'. _Chorus_--He and his wig, etc. Thin, his doctherin' done, In a rollickin' run Wid the rod or the gun, he's the foremost to figure.

Och, but you'd think 'Twas old Nimrod in pink, Wid his spurs cryin' chink over park-wall and palin'. _Chorus_ He and his wig wid the curls so carroty, Aigle eye, and complexion clarety: Here's to his health, Honor and wealth! Hip, hip, hooray! wid all hilarity, Hip, hip, hooray! That's the way, All at once, widout disparity! One more cheer For our docther dear, The king of his kind and the crame of all charity. Hip, hip, hooray! _Alfred Perceval Graves._ FATHER O'FLYNN Of priests we can offer a charmin' variety, Far renowned for larnin' and piety; Still, I'd advance ye, widout impropriety, Father O'Fl
