> “Here was the medicine but the patients died. > None asked the question: Who got well? > Thus have we wrought among these hills and valleys, > With hellish lecturaries, worse havoc than the malice > Of that same desolating pest. > Myself to thousands have the poison given; > They pined away—and yet my fame has thriven, > Till I must hear their shameless murderers blessed.”
