To Dr. Linden, ON HIS TREATISE on CHALYBEAT WATERS.
With healing Wings, intent on doing Good,
An Angel visited Bethesda's Flood;
Quick as the Morning Ray, or Ev'ning Beam,
Himself diffusing through the Vital Stream:
The Sick who drink, the Impotent who lave,
Dive from Diseases, and deceive the Grave.
An Angel visited Bethesda's Flood;
Quick as the Morning Ray, or Ev'ning Beam,
Himself diffusing through the Vital Stream:
The Sick who drink, the Impotent who lave,
Dive from Diseases, and deceive the Grave.
Tho' Miracles are ceas'd, yet all confess,
Your Work, and You, are—only something less.
So much is to your Worth and Learning due,
Bath is Bethesda; the Good Angel, You.
Your Work, and You, are—only something less.
So much is to your Worth and Learning due,
Bath is Bethesda; the Good Angel, You.
