Proud that the bark of fam’d Peru
Was rival’d, British plant, by you.
Philosophy and Science rare
Had pitied Dropsy’s sad despair,
And pour’d your healing treasure forth;
While their own Bard extoll’d your worth;
Poet and Sage: hence doubly shine
Your honours on Hygiea’s shrine,
Where pleas’d Apollo stoop’d to yield
To Darwin’s hand his lyre and shield.[[72]]
