[In essay relating to support of the hospital, three
excerpts of poetry:]
[from Manners of the Age]
Grant me --deep touch'd with human woes,
That sacred joy, which from compassion flows:
Well pleas'd to sooth the mourner in distress,
An eye to pity, and a hand to bless:
. . . [6 more lines]
[from Milton]
--Immediatly a place
Before his eyes appear'd, sad, noisom, dark,
A Lazar-house it seem'd, wherein were laid
Numbers of all diseas'd, all maladies
. . . [13 more lines]
[from Armstrong]
But for one end, one much neglected use,
Are riches worth your care (for nature's wants
Are few, and without opulence supplied.)
. . . [5 more lines]
