I've a Pain in my Head by Jane Austen

'I've a pain in my head' 

Said the suffering Beckford; 

To her Doctor so dread. 

'Oh! what shall I take for't?'

Said this Doctor so dread 

Whose name it was Newnham. 

'For this pain in your head 

Ah! What can you do Ma'am?'

Said Miss Beckford, 'Suppose 

If you think there's no risk, 

I take a good Dose 

Of calomel brisk.'--

'What a praise worthy Notion.' 

Replied Mr. Newnham. 

'You shall have such a potion 

And so will I too Ma'am.'
