To Mr ROBERT VVHITEHALL at the VVels at Astrop . PRorogued terme prolongs our meeting , Accept then Robin this for greeting , As much as if in Belgick Roomer , We dranke all Astrop this hot Summer , W' have cur'd the Scurvy , yes and a-Toe , By sending Ano-waters 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , I have seven Doctors , not in Rockets That ply the Waters , but in pockets , But that so many Dunnes and Leeches Have drained quite my Physick breeches , Ab ipso fonte , not , that 's cooler , But in Bottles Trio-bolar We dayly tope , rare cure Sple-netick , By Diaphor and Dieu-retick . Vnder my Roome , that 's high you 'l say , Are men of Via lactea , Which every morning come to clear-um With whey , which some call Lactis serum . I am a water-Ratt , my skill is To follow thee and Doctor VVillis : For if these prove not good as Spaw , Or Tunbridge , then I must have Law , When our Vice-Chancellour we speedily greet , For these I write are my best feet : And so have at thee , I am bouzing In bottles six that 's half a dozen , Which makes us frisk like any Satyrs , But not with wood Nymphs , no such matters ; Keep with thy Gallants and their Paddyes , For we want nothing , not your Ladyes : And now as any thing of Fame , So Astrop waters change their name ; Their Cures into their Titles go , As Rivulets to the seas flow ; Wherefore whatso'ere your dosing cupp Seemes to powre out at Asterop. It ends in sovereign ; under seale Declar'd the Pan-obstruction-Heale Like to a Prince in triumph seen , Or'e Scurvy , Stone , Astmas , and Spleen : Therefore let none my friends defeate you Potate strenuè , & Valete .
