# The Dispensary (7th ed)/Commendatory verse 4

TO MY
FRIEND,
UPON THE
DISPENSARY.
AS when the People of the Northern Zone Find the Approach of the Revolving Sun, Pleas'd and reviv'd. They see the new-born Light, And dread no more Eternity of Night:
Thus We, who lately as of Summer's Heat Have felt a Dearth of Poetry and Wit; Once fear'd, Apollo would return no more From warmer Climes, to an ungrateful Shore. But You, the Fav'rite of the Tuneful Nine, Have made the God in his full Lustre shine; Our Night have chang'd into a Glorious Day; And reach'd Perfection in your first Essay: So the young Eagle that his Force would try, Faces the Sun, and tow'rs it to the Sky.
Others proceed to Art by slow Degrees, Aukward at first, at length they faintly please. And still whate'er their first Efforts produce, 'Tis an Abortive, or an Infant Muse:
Whilst yours, like Pallas from the Head of Jove Steps out full grown, with Noblest Pace to move. What ancient Poets to their Subject owe, Is here inverted, and this owes to you: You found it Little, but have made it Great; They could Describe, but you alone Create.
Now let your Muse rise with Expanded Wings, To Sing the Fate of Empires, and of Kings; Great WILLIAM's Victories she'll next rehearse, And raise a Trophy of Immortal Verse: Thus to your Art proportion the Design,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ And Mighty Things will Mighty Numbers join, A Second Namur, or a future Boyne.
Henry Blount.

# The Dispensary (7th ed)/Subscription

The Copy of an Instrument Subscribed by the President, Censor, most of the Elects, Senior Fellows, Candidates, &c. of the College of Physicians, in relation to the Sick Poor.
WHereas the several Orders of the College of Physicians, London, for prescribing Medicins gratis to the Poor Sick of the Cities of London and Westminster, and Parts adjacent, as also the Proposals made by the said College to the Lord Mayor, Court of Aldermen and Common Council of London in pursuance thereof, have hitherto been ineffectual, for that no Method hath been taken to furnish the Poor with Medicins for their Cure at low and reasonable Rates; we therefore whose Names are here under-written, Fellows or Members of the said College, being willing effectually to promote so great a Charity, by the Counsel and good Liking of the President and College declared in their Comitia, hereby (to wit, each of us severally and apart, and not the one for the other of us) do oblige our selves to pay to Dr. Thomas Burwell, Fellow and Elect of the said College, the sum of Ten Pounds a-piece of Lawful Mony of England, by such proportions, and at such times as to the major Part ​of the Subscribers hereto shall seem most convenient: Which Mony when received by the said Dr. Thomas Burwell, is to be by him expended in preparing and delivering Medicins to the Poor at their intrinsick Value, in such Manner, and at such Times, and by such Orders and Directions, as by the major Part of the Subscribers hereto, shall in Writing be hereafter appointed and directed for that Purpose. In Witness whereof we have hereunto set our Hands and Seals this Twenty Second Day of December, 1696.
The Design of Printing the Subscribers Names, is to shew, that the late Undertaking has the Sanction of a College Act; and that 'tis not a Project carried on by Five or Six Members, as those that oppose it would unjustly insinuate.

# The Dispensary (7th ed)/Dedication

TO
Anthony Henley, Esq;
Man of Your Character can no more Prevent a Dedication, than he wou'd Encourage one; for Merit, like a Virgin's Blushes, is still most discover'd, when it labours most to be conceal'd.
​'Tis hard, that to think well of You, shou'd be but Justice, and to tell You so, shou'd be an Offence: Thus rather than violate Your Modesty, I must be wanting to Your other Virtues; and to gratifie One good Quality, do wrong to a Thousand.
The World generally measures our Esteem by the Ardour of our Pretences; and will scarce believe that so much Zeal in the Heart, can be consistent with so much Faintness in the Expressions; but when they reflect on Your Readiness to do Good, and Your Industry to hide it; on Your Passion to oblige, and Your Pain to hear it own'd; They'll conclude, that Ac​knowledgments wou'd be Ungrateful to a Person, who ev'n seems to receive the Obligations he confers.
But tho' I shou'd persuade my self to be silent upon all Occasions; those more Polite Arts, which, 'till of late, have Languish'd and Decay'd, wou'd appear under their present Advantages, and own You for one of their generous Restorers: Insomuch, that Sculpture now Breaths, Painting Speaks, Musick Ravishes; and as You help to refine Our Taste, You distinguish Your Own.
Your Approbation of this Poem, is the only Exception to the Opinion the World has of Your Judgment, that ought to relish nothing so much, as ​what You Write Your self: But You are resolv'd to forget to be a Critick, by remembring You are a Friend. To say more, wou'd be uneasie to You, and to say less, wou'd be unjust in
Your Humble Servant.

# The Dispensary (7th ed)/Commendatory verse 1

To Dr. G———th, upon the Dispensary.
OH that some Genius, whose Poetick Vein, Like M———gue's, cou'd a just Piece sustain, Would search the Græcian and the Latin Store, And thence present thee with the purest Oar. In lasting Numbers praise thy whole Design, And Manly Beauty of each Nervous Line. Show how your pointed Satyr's Sterling Wit Does only Knaves, or formal Blockheads hit; Who're gravely Dull, insipidly Serene, And carry all their Wisdom in their Mien. Whom thus expos'd, thus strip'd of their Disguise, None will again Admire, most will Despise. Show in what Noble Verse Nassau you sing, How such a Poet's worthy such a King. When S———r's Charming Eloquence you Praise, How loftily your Tuneful Voice you raise! But my poor feeble Muse is as unfit To Praise, as Imitate what you have writ. Artists alone should venture to Commend What D———s can't Condemn, nor D———n Mend: What must, writ with that Fire and with that Ease, The Beaux, the Ladies, and the Criticks please.
C. Boyle.

TO MY
Friend the Author,
Desiring My
Opinion of his POEM.
ASK me not, Friend, what I Approve or Blame,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Perhaps I know not why I Like, or Damn; I can be Pleas'd; and I dare own I am. I read Thee over with a Lover's Eye,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Thou hast no Faults, or I no Faults can spy; Thou art all Beauty, or all Blindness I. Criticks, and aged Beaux of Fancy chast,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Who ne'er had Fire, or else whose Fire is past, Must judge by Rules what they want Force to Taste. I wou'd a Poet, like a Mistress, try,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Not by her Hair, her Hand, her Nose, her Eye; But by some Nameless Pow'r, to give me Joy. The Nymph has G———n's, C———l's, C———l's Charm,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ If with resistless Fires my Soul she warms With Balm upon her Lips, and Raptures in her Arms. Such is thy Genius, and such Art is thine,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Some secret Magick works in ev'ry Line; We judge not, but we feel the Pow'r Divine. Where all is Just, is Beauteous, and is Fair, Distinctions vanish of peculiar Air.
Lost in our Pleasure, we Enjoy in you Lucretius, Horace, S———d, M———gue. And yet 'tis thought, some Criticks in this Town,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ By Rules to all, but to themselves, unknown Will Damn thy Verse, and Justify their own. Why, let them Damn: Were it not wond'rous hard Facetious M———, and the City B——— So near ally'd in Learning, Wit, and Skill, Shou'd not have leave to Judge, as well as Kill? Nay, let them write; Let them their Forces join, And hope the Motly Piece may Rival thine. Safely despise their Malice, and their Toil, Which Vulgar Ears alone will reach, and will defile. Be it thy Gen'rous Pride to please the Best, Whose Judgment, and whose Friendship is a Test. With Learned H——— thy healing Cares be join'd,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Search thoughtful R———e to his inmost Mind: Unite, restore your Arts, and save Mankind. Whilst all the busie M———ls of the Town Envy our Health, and pine away their own. When e'er thou wou'dst a Tempting Muse engage, Judicious W———h can best direct her Rage. To S———s, and to D———t too submit, And let their Stamp Immortalize thy Wit. Consenting Phœbus bows, if they Approve, And Ranks thee with the foremost Bards above: Whilst these of Right the Deathless Laurel send,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Be it my Humble Bus'ness to Commend The faithful, honest Man, and the well-natur'd Friend.

# Bayou Folk/Boulôt and Boulotte

When Boulôt and Boulotte, the little piny-wood twins, had reached the dignified age of twelve, it was decided in family council that the time had come for them to put their little naked feet into shoes. They were two brown-skinned, black-eyed ‘Cadian roly-polies, who lived with father and mother and a troop of brothers and sisters halfway up the hill, in a neat log cabin that had a substantial mud chimney at one end. They could well afford shoes now, for they had saved many a picayune through their industry of selling wild grapes, blackberries, and “socoes” to ladies in the village who “put up” such things.
Boulôt and Boulotte were to buy the shoes themselves, and they selected a Saturday afternoon for the important transaction, for that is the great shopping time in Natchitoches Parish. So upon a bright Saturday afternoon Boulôt and Boulotte, hand in hand, with their quarters, their dimes, and their picayunes tied carefully in a Sunday handkerchief, descended the hill, and disappeared from the gaze of the eager group that had assembled to see them go.
Long before it was time for their return, this same small band, with ten year old Seraphine at their head, holding a tiny Seraphin in her arms, had stationed themselves in a row before the cabin at a convenient point from which to make quick and careful observation.
Even before the two could be caught sight of, their chattering voices were heard down by the spring, where they had doubtless stopped to drink. The voices grew more and more audible. Then, through the branches of the young pines, Boulotte’s blue sun-bonnet appeared, and Boulôt’s straw hat. Finally the twins, hand in hand, stepped into the clearing in full view.
Consternation seized the band.
“You bof crazy donc, Boulôt and Boulotte,” screamed Seraphine. “You go buy shoes, an’ come home barefeet like you was go!”
Boulôt flushed crimson. He silently hung his head, and looked sheepishly down at his bare feet, then at the fine stout brogans that he carried in his hand. He had not thought of it.
Boulotte also carried shoes, but of the glossiest, with the highest of heels and brightest of buttons. But she was not one to be disconcerted or to look sheepish; far from it.
“You ‘spec’ Boulôt an’ me we got money fur was’e – us?” she retorted, with withering condescension. “You think we go buy shoes fur ruin it in de dus’? Comment!”
And they all walked into the house crest fallen; all but Boulotte, who was mistress of the situation, and Seraphin, who did not care one way or the other.

# Australia (O'Dowd)

Last sea-thing dredged by sailor Time from Space,
Are you a drift Sargasso, where the West
In halcyon calm rebuilds her fatal nest?
Or Delos of a coming Sun-God’s race?
Are you for Light, and trimmed, with oil in place, Or but a Will o’ Wisp on marshy quest?
A new demesne for Mammon to infest?
Or lurks millennial Eden ’neath your face?
  The cenotaphs of species dead elsewhere
That in your limits leap and swim and fly, Or trail uncanny harp-strings from your trees,
Mix omens with the auguries that dare
To plant the Cross upon your forehead sky,
A virgin helpmate Ocean at your knees.
