I know your only Help, the pow'rful Charm
That aids in ev'ery Grief and every Harm,
I know the Leaches Craft, and what they need
Who Doctors in that Noble Art proceed.

Me Elphin now his Bard may justly boast
Who long of old amid the Fire-wing'd Host:
Once Merlin was I call'd, well known to Fame,
Whom future Kings shall Taliessin name.
Wo to the Wretch who Wealth by Rapine gains,
And wo to him who Fasts and Pray'rs refrains;
Wo to the Shepherds who their Flocks betray,
And will not drive the Ravish Wolves away.
