A ST. THOMAS'S PASTORAL

(From Punch.)

Apropos of the Removal of an Hospital to the Suburbs, as
proposed by the Grand Committee under the auspices of
Messrs. 'rite and 13aggallay.

TITE.
Say, oh my Baggally, how calm one's ire,
When troublous Governors the Times inspire,
When e'en the staff whereon one most relies,
Breaks in our hands and in our faces flies,
And saucy surgeons with physicians join,
To fling cold water on our great design,
Of clean tiansplanting out of London air,
The lucky hospital that boasts our care,
And, like Loretto's mansion, setting down
• Amazed St. Thomas's well out of town.
Say, Baggallay, how charm the angry mood,
Roused by these checks to plans so great and good ?

BAGGALLAY.
What if, oh Tite, alternate voice we raise,
The Grand Committee's glorious thought to praise P
Singing the joys a site suburban yields,
To patients of St. Thomas in the fields,
Singing the sanitary slough that claims
The patients of St. Thomas by the Thames.
Defying bray of ,order rival ass,
Sing thou, while I attune the trump of brass.

TITt.
Happy the patient whom with broken bones
The ready eab hath rattled o'er the stones,
For many a mile beyond the lurid pall
Of London smoke to our salubrious hall I
What though the fracture comminuted grow,
And what was simple first now compound show ?
Above the shattered frame, his glazing eye
Will drink the azure of unclouded sky :
And when he's lifted fainting from his seat,
He'll have the buttercups beneath his feet.
Should slight concussion to Death's coma pass,
He'll sleep beneath a sod of growing grass :
Should absorbed poison stomach-pumps defy,
What comfort in a purer air to die I

BAGGALLAY.
Can o'er-tasked surgeons on the journey dwell,
When with ptire oxygen their bosoms swell ?
Physicians count the minutes that they lose,
'Mongst hedgerows dressed in all their greenest hues?
Students complain the distance does them wrong,
When sky-larks hymn, and red-breasts pipe their song ?

What if the parents, children, husbands, wives,
Fond phalanx, that with Sunday now arrives
To greet the inmates of each crowded ward,'
From ready access find themselves debarred?
Let them reflect the objects of their care,
Breathe less carbonic acid in their air. ,
Think, mother, from your child though barred you be,
There's hawthorn in the fields, if it could see—
Think, child, whose heart to greet thy sire has bled,
The lambs sport o'er the sward, beside his bed :
If thou his dying eyelids may'st not close,
Outside the wards the wild-flower freely grows.

BAGOALLAY.
Nor be the higher privilege forgot,
'Tis Tite shall build on this salubrious spot I
What if the patients find the transit slow,
And friends their weekly visitings forego?
Whatever is must, certainly, be right,
Beneath an elevation planned by Tite.
Who would not jolt six miles with broken limb,
To reach at length the building reared by him ?
-What visitor regrets the weekly call,
Whose friends repose in 'rite's Palladian hall ?
Enough to pass suburban site elect,
'That it will give us Tite for architect.

TITE.
While Daggsllay ?for treasurer we boast,
Plant us on India's or Iceland's coast,
Chilled at the Poles or frying on the line,
As best of hospitals ours still must shine !

BAGIGALLAY.
No mote, my friend; this blushing forehead spare—
This pinchbeck trowel, as my tribute, wear—
Trowel wherewith to plaster thee with praise,
When England shall to thee a statue raise I

I take thy gift, and in return bestow
This blazon trump which erst I learnt to blow.
Sound thy own praise thereon as I did mine,
Till Baggallay and Tite twin names shall shine,
On a St. Thomas's ntw built by me,
And with the pearl of treasurers in thee I
