"A Doctor for Near Half a Century,He Lived and Laboured for the Good of Men,Though Called to Watch the Sick Bed of The Rich,And Earn the Fee for Care and 'tendance Due,He Never Shrank at all Unseemly Hours From Waiting on the Poor Man's Couch of Pain,And Seeking to Alleviate the Ills That Human Nature is Foredoomed to Bear"
