Arabian Poetry: Shorter Pieces of Arabian Poetry: Epigram on Abu Alchair Selamu, an Egyptian Physician, by George, A Physician of Antioch

Arabian Poetry, by W. A. Clouston, [1881], at sacred-texts.com

WHOEVER has recourse to thee
Can hope for health no more:
He's launched into perdition's sea,
A sea without a shore.

Where’er admission thou canst gain,
Where’er thy phiz can pierce,
At once the Doctor they retain,
The mourners and the hearse.
