An Encomium upon his Friend the Translator's elaborate pains.
FLy Galen hence, Hippocrates be gone;
I will preserve my choice: this is that One,
Whose true Elixir doth preserve the frame
Of Man's frail Nature, vivifies the same;
By heavenly constellated Medicine,
Which vulgars count but Dross, I count Divine.
Let Zoil's and Momus 's intoxicated brains
Dispraise the Author's works; Translator's pains
I'll foster, cherish with undaunted part
This true sublime Spagyrick noble Art.
Proceed then, Friend, make all speak English: why
Should we be barr'd our Native Liberty?
W. Ryves, Philomedicus.
