[oa. I, 



And Jome faint embers of my youth remain, 

 Shall not the Muse her tuneful accents 



raise. 

 And wake 'he slutnb'ring l}re to sing thy 



praise ? 

 Here, piiin?'d in grief, and pensive, and 



forlorn. 

 The long-lost objects of mv love I mourn ; 

 My deiir associate , ravish'd from my breast 

 Bv thtrfo«l Venom of lliat baneful pest ; 

 While many a blemish cover'd cv'jy face, 

 Robb'd ev'ry charm, and litied ev'ry grace. 

 When the dire fiend, which thus, in early 



bloom, 

 His victims hiirl'd untimely to the tomb, 

 111 all his horrors rises to my view. 

 How shall 1 tell what thanks to Heaven 



are due? 

 And due to thee, whose goJlike arm re- 



press'd 

 The lawless rage of that malignant pest; 

 To thee, whose genius, and well-tultuv'd 



mind. 

 Found out a healing balm for human kind ? 

 Thy skilful hand inserts with wondrous 



art 

 The crystal drop the lowing kine impart, 

 To quell 'the tiend, his kindling wrath to 



taine. 

 And flow meaiid'ring through the vital 



fiame. 

 Ere long, a pustule, rising in the wound, 

 Kepelsthe foe, that lurks in ambush round 

 With all his hostj and from our fleeting 



breath 

 Averisthe perils of impending death. 



What thanks shall British gratitude decree, 

 What thanks, wliat honours, what rewards 



to thie? 



What annual off'rings at thy halIow'«l 



shrine. 

 O Jenner! equal to desert like thine? 

 For, lo ! Machaoii is thy frequent guest, 

 Pleas'd v-ith thy converse, with thy friend- 

 ship blest: 

 The poor, the rich, consu't without a fee 

 The sacred orai I? of health in thee. 

 The mother sues thee, fill'd with just 



alarms, 

 To shield her boy, and to protect his 



charms , 

 The virgin sues, lest blemishes invade, 

 Hei lovely cheeks, and all her beauties, fade. 

 The Gaul liimseif, though envious of our 



name. 

 Adores thy art, and celebrates thy fame; 

 The grateful nntio'is one loud pasan raise. 

 And all the wond'ring world resounds thy 



praise." 

 This agreeable writer then proceeds with 

 sonie spirited lines re-pecting the great na- 

 tional contest with our gigantic adversary ; 

 and thus concludes: 



" Jenner, farewel !--nor shall the bard 



detain 

 From nobler studies by too long a strain. 

 Nor from its object alienate a mind 

 Intent on labours useful to mankind. 



May Heaven, to whom my suppliant 



voice I raise, 

 Prosper thy labours, and prolong thy days ! 

 While deathless heroes, who maintain our 



fa ire. 

 And add new glories to the British name. 

 Around their brows unfading laurels twine. 

 The Civic Crown, O JcNNtii! shall be 



thine."
