Dr. Hill's Reply to the Junto's Epigram
by David Garrick (1717–1779)
Ye desperate junto, ye great or ye small, Who combat dukes, doctors, the devil and all! Whether gentlemen, scribblers, or poets in jail, Your impertinent curses shall never prevail: I'll take neither sage, dock, nor balsam of honey; Do you take the physic, and I'll take the money.
