The noble King of Brentford / Was old and very sick, / He summon'd his physicians / To wait upon him quick; / They stepp'd into their coaches / And brought their best physick.
They cramm'd their gracious master / With potion and with pill; / They drench'd him and they bled him; / They could not cure his ill.
