PROLOGUE TO Physick Reform'd . Three Colledges of late , Were in a hot Debate , About a Brain-sick Ass , That ought to have a Pass To go from whence he came . Moorfields was in a Rage , And swore that ne're a Page In all the Ape had writ , Had either Art of Wit : 'T was done to get a Name . Therefore the Quack shall be In Straw , Confin'd with me , Until his Sense return , For Wit he 'll ne're have none , All must subscribe to this . Then Warwick-lane began To speak of this Young Man , And own'd they must allow All that was said was true , Yet did not do amiss In letting of him be Of their Society : For tho' he has no sence , Yet he has Impudence Enough to Say , and Write . He understands much more Than e're was known before , And e'ery Man 's a Fool That is not of our School ; For us he 'll Write , Lye , Fight , Inform , Suborn , nay Swear ; But of his Bite beware : Thus whilst he 'll be our Tool , He shall be of our School . Bridenwell at this with 's Whip a Circle drew , Then Conjur'd up old Harry's Ghost to view The ills , he 'd done in forming of such Schools , Compos'd of nothing else but Knaves and Fools . The Ghost reply'd , I ne'er Consented to That Law , they say they have , for what they do : Unto this Town they are a greater Cheat , Than to the World is the damn'd Romish Seat . Hast to their Synagogue ; say , Industry And Wit are Cramp'd by their Monopoly . Plague , Famine , Sword , produce not half the Ill That these Rogues do , in Licensing to Kill . Lash out the Drones , and then you 'll scarcely see In that great Hive so much as one poor Bee , For Sourbatch that Wretch belongs to thee .
