Classic Poem

See wond'rous Man! with what Success,
Indulgent Heav'n your Art does bless;
See how Disease your Presence flies,
Or lurking in some new Disguise,
Attempts to 'scape your piercing Eyes.
While you the baleful Hag pursue,
And all her dark Recesses view,
And she, by you thus drag'd to Light,
Flies trembling from your awful Sight.

Nor need you Drugs of foreign Store,
Or native Plants of sov'reign Pow'r;
Meer Water when prescrib'd by you,
Can Nature's strongest Foe subdue:
Such pow'rfull Accents from you flow,
Your Voice alone does Health bestow.
