TO THE SURGEON-GENERAL OF NEW YORK.
277

It matters not how low or high it is,
Thou knowest each hill and vale of knowledge;
Fellow of forty-nine societies,
And lecturer in Hosack’s College.
And when thou diest, for life is brief,
Thy name, in all its gathered glory,
Shall shine, immortal, as the leaf
Of Delaplaine’s Repository!31
