THE GOOD PHYSICIAN. I hold it iever, Virtue and cunning wore endowments groater Than nobleness and riches; careless hc'irs May tho two latter darken and expend. But immortality attends the formeri Making a man a god. 'Tis known I ever Have studied physic, through which secret art, By turning o'er authorities, I have — Together with my practice—made familiar To mo and ito my aid the blest infusions That dwell in vegbtives, in metals, stones; , And can speak of the disturbances That nature works, and of her cures; which doth give mo A more content in course of true delight Than to be (thirsty after tottering honour, Or tie my treasure up in silken bags, To please tlie fool and death. —Shakespeare.
