In all the world of fable?

St. George, who the Great Dragon slew,

The Knights of ARTHUR's Table,

E'en gallant giant-slaying JACK,

The British nursery's darling;

Or JENNER, against whom the pack

Of faddists now are snarling,

Must second fiddle play to him

Who stayed the plague of phthisis,

And plumbed a mystery more dim
