LETTER XVII.
THE HOSPITAL AND GOVERNORS.
An ardent spirit dwells with Christian love,
The eagle's vigour in the pitying dove;
'Tis not enough that we with sorrow sigh,
That we the wants of pleading man supply;
That we in sympathy with sufferers feel,
Nor hear a grief without a wish to heal.
Not these suffice—to sickness, pain, and wo,
The Christian spirit loves with aid to go;
