A LIBERAL taste, and a wise gentleness
Have ever been the true physician's dower,
As still is visible in the placid power
Of those old Grecian busts; and helps to bless
The balmy name of Haller, and the address
Of cordial Garth; and him in Cowley's bower,
Harvey; and Milton's own exotic flower,
Young Deodati, plucked from his caress.

To add to these an ear for the sweet hold
Of music, and an eye, aye and a hand
For forms which the smooth Graces tend and follow,
Shows thee indeed true offspring of the bland
And vital god, whom she of happy mould,
The Larissaean beauty, bore Apollo.
