19. To the learned Doctor Brown.
Rare Oculist! whose Genius did devise,To cut the Cataracts, from Vulgar Eyes.
The Sun-shine of your Learning, brought the day:
And chas'd the Fogs of Ignorance, away.
Your Universal Judgment, search'd about:
And put Gray-bearded Errors, to the rout.
Yet Modesty made you mistake. Most True,
A Phœnix exists. The world, Brown, doth owe.
