REMEDIES
A fire with water we defeat,
With parasols the midday heat,
Mad elephants with goads that prick,
Oxen and asses with a stick,
Sickness with draughts that banish harm,
Poison with many a spell and charm,
Science has cures for every ill
Except the fool; be prospers still.
Brough
Water to quench a blaze.
Shade to keep off the sun’s fierce light.
Goad for the elephant in rut.
Stick for the ox and mule.
Herbs to subdue disease.
Spells for the poison serpent’s bite -
All things else have an antidote:
Nothing can cure a fool.
Tawney
Water will serve to put out fire, umbrellas 'gainst the heat,
A sharp hook guides the elephant, the ox and ass we beat,
Disease we cure with doctor's stuff, the serpent's bite with charms,—
Against the fool, the worst of ills, Nature provides no arms.
