Have, without learning, found a way to fame;
And some by learning - young physicians write,
To set their merit in the fairest light;
With them a treatise in a bait that draws
Approving voices - ’tis to gain applause,
And to exalt them in the public view,
More than a life of worthy toil could do.
When ’tis proposed to make the man renown’d,
In every age, convenient doubts abound;
Convenient themes in every period start,
