Lettering

Lettered with two stanzas, one in French and the other in German: Le malade. Pour me guerir de maladie Les medecins m'ont fait baigner, Purger, clisteriser, saigner, Toute une apothicairerie reste à mon heritier dans ma chambre. I'irai voir les ayeux perdus de plus d'un membre. Abschied dess Patienten von seinem Medico. Es gleicht mein siecher Leib fast einer Apothecken, Als den man tag für tag purgiert, clysterisiert. Was hat mein Erbe nun als Glässgen und Scartequen. Die durch ihr Recipe nur alle Kraff entführt. Des Doctors letzter Trost heist: unser Krancke him(m)elt. So sieh ich aus der Welt an Arm u(nd) Bein verstümmelt.
