And soon may pass her suffering, for the ill

By man begot lies subject to our skill;

All human malady may be allayed

With human forethought, human action’s aid;

Ours then the fault, since, given in our hand

Is power the evil hazard to command;

For Nature, kindly wise our woes to shape,

In very pang of pain both prompts and points escape.
