Chapter 56 - The Triumph of Science Over Physic.

Home they brought the warrior, fed

To repletion more than just;

And the servants, chuckling, said.

"He must shit or he will bust."

Then they gave him castor oil.

Pills and drugs of many a sort;

Yet despite their loving toil,

He would not be taken short.

Stole a maiden to the spot.

And emetics, laughing, dared;

Yet in vain she held the pot,

For he only belched and glared.

Came a nurse of ninety years.

An enema huge she bore;

Shoved it up amidst their jeers,

And he shat for evermore.
