1. When the quack saw my sickness of belly
And said, though not wisely nor aptly,
١. رأى عارِضي لمّا رأى سُقْمَ بَطْنِهِ
وقالَ ولمْ يُرْشَدْ لحِذْقٍ ولا كَيْسِ
2. "Don't you know, sir, the pain in your belly I seek to allay
Is cured by applying the beard of a goat, they say!"
٢. ألمْ تدْرِ أنّي عِلّةَ البطْنِ أشْتَكي
وينْفَعُ مَنْ يشْكو بِها لِحْيَةُ التّيْسِ
