I've a Pain in my Head

'I've a pain in my head' Said the suffering Beckford; To her Doctor so dread. 'Oh! what shall I take for't?'

Said this Doctor so dread Whose name it was Newnham. 'For this pain in your head Ah! What can you do Ma'am?'

Said Miss Beckford, 'Suppose If you think there's no risk, I take a good Dose Of calomel brisk.'--

'What a praise worthy Notion.' Replied Mr. Newnham. 'You shall have such a potion And so will I too Ma'am.'
