[Athwart the deep'ning shades of night]
Καλα πεφανται.
Athwart the deep'ning shades of night,
With hues of many-tinctur'd light,
Th' apothecary's window glows:
Water, where chymical art displays
The ruby's, sapphire's, emerald's blaze,
Long gleams of lustre throws.

What medical stores are in the shop,
Drug, essence, mixture, pill, draught, drop,
'Tis not for sprigs like me to guess:—
But this at least, I will assert;
If none among 'em does more hurt,
I'm sure none can do less!
