For love--be you sure There is but one cure.

Yourself, then, resign To marry, or pine!

This grave operation Requires consultation.

The Sugar and Spice Will make the cure nice.

The pain in the heart Will quickly depart.

I’d fain say the same Of every pain

That ruffles the temper Or maddens the brain;

That makes the eye dim Or cripples a limb;

That mars all your beauty, And pleasure and duty.

Why this should be so Is a puzzle to know.

If you take my advice, You’ll be well in a thrice.

Away with your lotions, And villainous potions--

And, if you have sense, Spend a very few pence

To make your ills fewer With “Wells’ Health Renewer.”
