“The rescued child he gave to share
Magnesian Centaur’s fostering care;
And learn of him the soothing art
That wards from man diseases’ dart.
Of those whom nature made to feel
Corroding ulcers gnaw their frame;
Or stones far hurled, or glittering steel,
All to the great physician came.
By summer’s heat or winter’s cold
Oppressed, of him they sought relief.
