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

EPIGRAM ON ABU ALCHAIR SELAMU, AN EGYPTIAN PHYSICIAN. BY GEORGE, A PHYSICIAN OF ANTIOCH. 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.
