Page:A translation of Anstey's ode to Jenner - 1804.pdf/20


 * Jenner, farewel!—nor shall the bard detain

From nobler studies by too long a strain, Nor from its object alienate a mind Intent on labours useful to mankind.


 * May Heav'n, to whom my suppliant voice I raise,

Prosper thy labours, and prolong thy days! While deathless heroes, who maintain our fame, And add new glories to the British name, Around their brows unfading laurels twine, The shall be thine.
