Wit and mirth: or, pills to purge melancholy: being a collection of the best merry ballads and songs, old and new. Fitted to all Humours, having each their proper tune for either Voice, or Instrument, many of the songs being new Set. With several New songs by Mr. D'Urfey. Also, an Addition of Excellent poems. The first kind Dose may purge off Dregs impure, And fit the sickning Body for a Cure; But should no Second Pills the Cure Compleat, Disease would rally, and regain its Seat, Deriding the Physician's thoughtless Care, Who could not perfect what he could Prepare.
