And thus, to gain a cure unlook’d for,
The patient save, but starve the doctor.[81]
That, though the Perkinistic fellows
May have the impudence to tell us,
That they can muster, on emergence,
Renown’d physicians, learned surgeons;
With many other men of merit,
Philanthropy and public spirit,
Not your self-puffing sons of vanity,
But real Howards of humanity.
