The DEVIL upon DUN : OR The Downfall of the Upstart CHYMIST :

Being the Second Edition of a Late SONG :

To the Tune of Smoak us , and choak us .

‛ MOngst all Professions in the Town , Held most in renown , From th' Sword to the Gown , The upstart Chymist rules the Roast ; For He with his Pill Does ev'n what he will , Employing his skill , Good Subjects to kill , That he of his dang'rous Art may boast , O 't is the Chymist , that man of the fire , Who by his Black Art Does Soul and Body part : He smoaks us , and choaksus , And leaves us like Dun in the mire . And first for the Lawyers , who multiply , That one can scarce lye , And th' other stand by , Five Grains took of th' grand Preparation , Their Bodies will maull , Thin Westminster-Hall , Cease Suits , and give a long Vacation . O 't is the Chymist , &c. At th' Sessions house he commenc'd his Trade , Where he aloud pray'd For th' King , long he stay'd Not there , being burnt in th' hand To inure him to fire , He proceeded then high'r , Restless in desire , Till he of a Chymist had the Brand. O 't is the Chymist , &c. As for the Parsons , both Pro and Con , Dispute , and Objection , Can't save them , th' Chymist anon With th' Elixir can soon end the strife , Straight silence them both , Who t' agree are loth , For th' Ginny-pigs sake , though Their quarrels give th' Old Cause new life . Also the Souldier , that man of Arms , Who never fears harms , Nor any fresh alarms , Let this Chymist enter the Field Ev'n with a General , The brav'st Collonel , A Pill , or Sublimate will make them yield . O 't is the Chymist , &c. Dull Aristotle was an old Fool , For he went to School Instead of the Stool : What he wrote , he stole from Books ; This mysterie is such , Say who can too much In it ? whose deadly touch , Makes Bum-foder scarce , it who twice brooks ? O 't is the Chymist , that man of the fire , Who by his Black Art Does Soul and Body part : He smoaks us , and choaks us , And leaves us like Dun in the mire . The learned Universities , Ancient as Mince-pies , Say that all are lies , But Emperick-like hee 'll make them broil Like Sprats on the cole , Leaving them no soul , But make a deep hole To bury their old heathenish soil . O 't is the Chymist , &c. Old Physitians never writ Ought of real wit , But what was most fit To be refin'd by th' Chymical Art ; Rubarb , Senna , and Drugs Ev'n like to College Mugs , Which the Sophister oft lugs , Nothing comes , but a Metaphysical F — O 't is the Chymist , &c. 'Gainst Hippocrates and Galen eke , These Saints have a peke , 'Cause they wrote in Greek ; With Learning they 'l not trouble the Brain , The Mother-tongue alone Kills dead as a stone ; This done with th' fifteenth part of a Grain . O 't is the Chymist , &c. The College Doctors with great heat , Do very much brow-beat So desp'rate a cheat , Using prov'd methods safe to cure ; Yet these Chymists cry , Who dares it deny ? At easie rates they 'l make all sure . O 't is the Chymist , &c. If Wife of Husband , or Husband of Wife , By reason of strife Are we'ry , Or Fathers life Hinders th' Heir ; his Laboratory Can perform with hast , Without much distast , What Indian poyson cann't supply . O 't is the Chymist , that man of the fire , Who by his Black Art Does Soul and Body part : He smoaks us , and choaks us , And leaves us like Dun in the mire . The learned Chymists we don't decry , Natures Mystery He most faithfully Unlocks : But our upstart Chymists bee A meer mushroom strain Who give Folks their bain Very Quacks in grain , They , and the Sextons are in Fee . O 't is the Chymist , &c. How say y' Sirs , shall these practise then , Very expert men T' kill , Dick , Tom , and Ben ? Nay , rather let this Chymical Crew , Be sent to Algier , That Trade may be free'r : They 'l outdoe a Navy , give the Devil his due : O 't is the Chymist , &c. Then may New Troy with Citizens fill , Being secur'd from ill ; Then no printed Bill , No Almanack ; no Tradesman's Shop Shall th' Elixir vent , To make Experiment On liege people , killing with one drop . O 't is the Chymist , &c. Now to conclude , let 's merrily sing God bless Our Good KING From the Dragons Sting , Heavens preserve him Ages about : For none of his Foes The Common-weal oppose , As every one knows , By their great hurt , and woes , Than th' Quack and this Chymical Ront . O 't is the Chymist , &c.
