AN ESSAY ON THE POETRY OF CERTAIN ANCIENT PRACTITIONERS OF MEDICINE ILLUSTRATED WITH TRANSLATIONS FROM THE LATIN AND BY REPRODUCTIONS OF THE TITLE PAGES OF THE RARER WORKS BY / CHARLES L. DANA, A. M., M. D., LL. D. WOODSTOCK VERMONT THE ELM TREE PRESS MCMXVI LIBRARY v/ 350 c ,1 THE POETRY OF THE EARLY FATHERS OF MEDICINE WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND WITH NOTES ON THE LATER WRITERS There are some lines of extra-professional activity which I presume appear especially arid and unresponsive to attack. Probably an interest in the poetry of physicians seems like one of these lines, and yet I do not consider that such is the case. The interest in any pursuit is, after all, mainly in the associations it arouses and not in the object of the search. One does not collect books or china or spoons just to look at them, but for the story that at- taches to each possession. So in hunting after the song- writing, epic-building, lyric-making medical men and their works, one finds a crowd of associated interests. The pursuit leads into medical history and into the by- paths of biography; it throws new lights on some famous characters and reveals unexpected forms of linguistic expression as well as of medical activity. Occasionally, one is introduced to the charms of a long forgotten or a new voice, singing beautiful songs, such as that of Nicias two thousand years ago, and that of Dr. Drummond of these later days. There are the interests of poetic forms and literary methods once highly honored and solemnly acclaimed. Besides these there are the material things; the rare editions, the old and the new modes of printing, the prints, and the bindings and the curious traits of book sellers and book buyers. At any rate, I am satisfied with my oblique pursuit [v] both for the reasons given and because it has ended in a certain real accomplishment. For, pursuing my researches over a literary period of two thousand years, I have been able to collect an an- thology of medically originated poetry which has a cer- tain unity of origin and yet is unique in its range of topics and variety of quality; in the widely different racial ori- gins of its contributors, in the extent and divergence of the times, manners and themes that are celebrated. The authors have one thing in common : they were all sup- posed to be authorized and able to write the sign of Jove. This anthology I hope to publish later. The earlier contributions by doctors to Apollo and the Muses, during Greek and Roman times, were mainly in the form of epigrams and epics. During the middle ages and later, the epic style prevailed but there also developed a kind of alliterative semi-rhyming verse called " leonine." This was much used in the poetic works on sanitation and domestic medicine and during these times medical verse was a popular form of literary expression. It was warmly defended in the middle of the 17th century by a certain Dr. Carolus Sponius, Physician to Louis XIV, who wrote a book of verses in which he described in hexameters the origin and insertion of the muscles of the human body. In a preface to this work, the learned editor says: " It is well known (lippis et tonsoribus notum est) that Apollo was the God of Medicine, but also the President of Parnassus." " And so, it is no wonder that in later ages many of the Children of Medicine, afflated with the divine fire, tried to express the mysteries of their art in verse and to contribute to the world their salutary songs. There was Aemilius Macer, who sang of the virtues of plants, and Serenus Samonicus, who told in the same way of all the diseases of the body; and there have been many others." " It is not possible," he continues, " that those [vi] chosen ones would have tortured themselves to form their language into verse if it had not been an easier and happier way than to have put it in prose. For it is ad- mitted that facts are more easily retained if put in a poetic form." It was for these last reasons that Dr. Carolus Sponius wrote his famous " Myologia." The poet-physician of the School of Salernum, Aegidius, gave the same excuse. The tendency of the "Children of Apollo" (as the doctors use to call themselves) to publish their work in the form of verse was also favored by the fact that in early days it was believed that great truths came through the poet's inspiration and must have poetic form. The philosophy of Empedocles (B. C. 500), one of the fathers of medicine, was written in heroic verse and Empedocles contributes two or three epigrams to the Greek anthology. Empedocles had a pupil, a physician by the name of Nicias, who (B. C. 250) wrote poetry and was really a poet. Nicias studied medicine at Cos and prac- ticed at Miletus. He belonged to a poets' society of that city and was evidently a man of unusual talent. He was a contemporary and friend of Theocritus who addressed to him two of his idyls (numbers eleven and twenty-two). Nicias, in his early life, was rather unfor- tunate in a love affair and Theocritus sent him a consol- atory poem of which the beginning is given here: It seems there's no medicine for love, Nicias, neither salve nor plaster, but only the Pierian Maid. And a gentle medicine it is and sweet for use upon the world, but very hard to find, as indeed one like you must know, being both physician and well-belov'd likewise of the Muse. 'Twas this, at least, gave best comfort to my countryman the Cyclops, old Polyphemus, when he was first showing beard upon cheek and chin, and Galatea was his love. Later, the affairs of the physician-poet ran more smoothly. He married his lady-love and Theocritus sent him a wedding present and another poem. The only surviving fragments of the poetry of Nicias [vii] are three epigrams in the Greek Anthology. The follow- ing example shows his poetic spirit: On A Wayside Tomb Sit beneath the poplars here, traveller, when thou art weary, And drawing nigh drink of our spring, Then, when later far away Remember the fountain that Simus set by the side of Gillus His dead child. A little later another Greek physician, Nicander, ap- peared, who wrote much poetry, including certain works of the didactic type known as Lehrgedichte. Nicander was born B. C. 180 in Colophon, in Ionia. He was the son of an hereditary priest of Apollo and was himself a priest, as well as a physician, grammarian and poet. He wrote medical and other works in prose; and besides this com- posed poems. One of these latter, entitled " Metamor- phoses," is said to have been drawn upon by Ovid. The only works of his which are extant are the Theriaka, a poem in hexameters, of about 1,000 lines, which treats of the bites of venomous animals; and the Alexo-phar- maka of 600 lines, treating on poisons and their antidotes. Nicander acquired a definite reputation as a poet and physician and he is quoted or referred to by Macer, Pliny, Dioscorides and Plutarch. Virgil is said to have adapted some of his Georgics from Nicander's works. The poems were published in Venice in 1499 and later in Venice in 1523 by Aldus. An edition of the poems with an elab- orate study of his writings has been issued by Otto Schneider. (Leipsic, 1856) Literary critics speak rather harshly of Nicander's hexameters. Dr. Nichol, of this city, was kind enough to translate the beginnings of the Theriaka for me and it seems quite up to the old Alexandrian standard. [ viii ] ! A R NALDV S Villanouanus. Arnaldus of Villa Nova From Nicander's Theriaka My dear Hermesianax, worthiest of many kinsmen, I would describe as clearly as may be The nature of the deadly venoms of the wild beasts Which inflict upon us unforeseen destruction; And also, unfailingly, the antidotes of their maleficence. For the sorrowful rustic, and the plowman who guides the oxen, And the woodcutter, as often as in the wood, Or in his work afield, he encounters a venomous tooth, Will count it to me for honor, To have in mind remedies for his misfortune. Besides these Greeks, a physician named Nicomedes, Smyrna, is the author of three epigrams in the Greek Anthology and Nicagnus of Ephesus wrote a poetical panegyric on his master Galen. About 400 of the 4,000 epigrams in the Anthology relate to medical and hygi- enic matters and no doubt many of them were written by medical men. (J. D. Rolleston) In the Augustan period of Roman literature there was a certain physician and poet who wrote on much the same themes as Nicander. His name was Aemilius Macer. He wrote about theriac (the great " shot-gun " panacea of those and later times) and also about the bites of venomous serpents. He was the contemporary of Ovid who refers to him. He died B. C. 16. We have only fragments of his work. In the time of Nero (A. D. 56-68) there was a Roman physician and poet by the name of Andromachus. He wrote a poem entitled " Ex Vipris Theriaca " and dedi- cated it to Nero. Galen quotes verses from it in a letter to Piso concerning theriac, and says: They say that this man Andromachus was a physician and, by Hercules, worthy of being remembered. He was born not very long before us. He lived, in fact, with Nero, to whom he dedicated his song. [ix] I append his verses here so that you may not miss the story because you are so studious and a lover of letters. Galen adds that the verses are composed " not without the dexterity of genius." We know nothing more about him. Several popular and one may say classical contribu- tions to medical verse have come down to us from the middle ages. Such are: " De Re Medica Precepta Salu- brissima " of Serenus Samonicus; " De Virtubus Herba- rum," of Macer; "The Hortulus," of a monk named Strabo; " Carmina," of Aegidius Carbolensis; and " Regi- men Sanitatis Salerni." They were popular medical works for centuries, having many codices, followed by printed editions running as late as the 19th century; so that I feel justified in giving some account of them. Early in the third century, in the reign of Caracalla, (A. D. 211-217) there appeared a certain physician nam- ed Quintus Serenus Samonicus. We know little about him. He is said to have been put to death by Caracalla on account of his magic cures. He wrote a small book in verse entitled " Most Salubrious Precepts Concerning the Medical Art." It contains descriptions of how to treat common maladies. It was very popular in its day and after printing was introduced, it went through many editions, one being published as late as the 19th century. It was written in hexameters and was without much poetic merit. It begins as follows: Introduction to the De re Medica of Quintus Serenus Samonicus The method of medical study Just like that of the members of the body, Is arranged in a series; And so I shall first sing Of that high citadel of the body, the head. [x] Support, O Phoebus, the salutiferous song Which we put forth ; Thou, potent in art, Knowest how to bring back the failing life And to summon buried ghosts From the shades below; Thou hast supported the temples at Pergamos and Epidaurus, And, hidden under the skin of the placid serpent, Thou hast visited the Tarpeian heights And the lofty temples, Dispelling wasting sickness with thy nod. Be present here and help me In what I am eagerly attempting, While I place all upon tenuous sheets of papyrus. Serenus was the author of the cabalistic word " Abra- cadabra." This was used as a charm and was considered a sovereign cure for deadly fever (Dr. Henry Barnes). It had to be worn round the neck for nine days and then to be thrown over the shoulder into an eastward running stream. An English doctor claimed to have cured two hundred people of ague within one year by its use. About the same time as Serenus, or a little later, there lived another poet and doctor called Macer, a name per- haps adopted from the Macer of Augustan times. He was called also Odo and Macer Floridus. He wrote on the " Virtues of Herbs " and his herbal was the popular text- book on materia medica for the next few centuries. It went through twenty-two editions and was translated into four languages, including English, and was recom- mended to his pupils by the great physician, Dr. Linacre. Macer's work describes in bad Latin hexameters the properties of eighty-eight herbs. Some of the verses are found in the Regimen Sanitatis Salerni. In a Basle edi- tion of Macer, published in 1527, Joannes Atrocianus, the editor, prefaces the work with a laudatory verse: [xi] In very many years there has scarcely been brought to light a more useful work than Macer's * * * * Therefore, let boys, youths and old men come quickly that they may learn from it how to dispel serious diseases by their skill. Macer's work begins with a poem entitled De Artemisia "Herbarum varias dicturus carmine vires." Being about to describe in song the various powers of plants I hold it just to put forth, first, that mother of all herbs to which the Greek gave the name Artemesia. For Diana, who is called Artemis in Greek, is said to have first discov- ered its power and thence the herb takes its name. It is especially heal- ing in the sickness of women. A decoction of it drank brings on the menses. The root does this also if prepared in the same way, or if the crude parts steeped in wine are drunk. During the growth and renown of the School of Saler- num from the 9th to the 12th century, much of its work was published in the form of didactic poems describing diseases and their treatment. De Renzi enumerates six different medical poems which were written during those years. They dealt with the diseases of women, with sur- gery, with methods of curing, and with the description of various diseases, and they were attributed to teachers in that School. Among the most popular of the Salernian poets was Aegidius Carbolensis (1180-1228). He lived in the early 13th century and studied and taught at Salernum. He wrote grandiloquently on such subjects as the heart, the pulse and the composition of medicine. He was the most popular of the Salernum writers. He wrote a hymn to the Salernum School and his works which contained good Latin poetry went through many editions. On the whole he should be adjudged the poet laureate of Saler- num and mediaeval medicine. He introduces his Carmina with the following expla- nation : A multitude of books makes the library rich and the mind poor; memory is weak and cannot retain very many things and moreover slumber comes when the task is long. It is folly, then, since time is so scanty, to look for books that are [xii] superfluous and useless since life is a point of time and perhaps less than a point. Striving for brevity let us choose books which are help- ful to the mind and without much practice cannot be carried on. The Antidotarius serves this purpose, and I have chosen it as a guide in giving the use of several medicines and sing their praises. I have writ- ten my work in verse because memory is thereby aided. The commen- tary of Mathaeus Platearius in the Antidotarius is the work upon which I have based many remarks and observations. Now that I have ex- plained my intentions, I shall devote myself eagerly to my work, first invoking the divine help, without which nothing can be accomplished. De Corde The heart, seat of life, Trusty abode of life-giving heat, Sole support of nature, sun of the microcosm, Bridal-bed of life, throne and shrine of force, From which gushes a rivulet That with pure nourishment, Supports our bodies, quickens them, Develops them, shapes them And brings to them the health of the outer air. Here you will find the abiding relations And the physical links Which fetter body and mind. Ever since its origin The fiery element penetrated hither And made here its abode. From which cause the heart Assumed shape akin to the nature of fire, Tapering like a cone whose base Contains the heavier bodies, But towards the apex Are raised the lighter substances. The Regimen Sanitatis Salerni was the most popular and longest lived of all the Lehrgedichte. Its author is unknown. It is a compilation from previous works of similar kind. It was first printed in Venice with an expo- sition by Master Arnaldus of Villa Nova in 1480. Sudhoff thinks that the poem is a rather late work, dating from the thirteenth century. De Renzi enumerates one hun- dred and nineteen editions, the last in 1842, and Ackerman says there are twelve codices. It must have early made a [ xiii ] great impression because within ten years after its first printing there appeared fourteen editions mostly in dif- ferent parts of Italy, and new editions appeared almost yearly until well into the 16th century. It has almost al- ways been published with the comments of the learned Arnaldus. It was written in leonine verse and is ad- dressed to the King of England for whose use it is sup- posed to have been compiled. The opening lines are as follows: The Salerne Schoole doth by these lines impart, All health to England's King, and doth advise From care his head to keepe, from wrath his heart. Drinke not much wine, sup light, and soon arise When meat is gone; long sitting breedeth smart: And afternoone still waking keepe your eyes. When mov'd you find yourself to Nature's Need, Forbeare them not, for that much danger breeds, Use three Physitians still, first Doctor Quiet, Next Doctor Merry-man, and Doctor Dyet. Sir John Harrington, godson of Queen Elizabeth, trans- lated the poem into English under the title The English- man's Doctor (London 1609). In an introductory Ad lib- rum, the translator says of his book: There are no drugs here fetcht from Mexico, Nor gold from India, nor that stinking smoake, Which English gallants buy, themselves to choake; Nor Silkes of Turkie, nor of Barbary, Those luscious Canes, where our rich Sugars lie: Nor those hot drinks that make our wits to dance, The wild Canaries: nor those Grapes of France, Which make us clip our English, nor those wares Of fertile Belgia, whose wombe compares With all the world for fruit, tho now with scarres Her body be all ore defac't by warres : Go tel them what thou bringst, exceeds the welth, Of all these Contries, for thou bringst them health. [xiv] From the time of the Middle Ages and the Salernum Songs there appears no important medical verse until the middle of the 16th century when Fracastorius wrote his Epic on Syphilis. This poem has considerable literary merit and a good deal of sanitary and medical interest. It went through many editions in original Latin. It was translated into French, and into English by the Poet Laureate of England, Mr. Tate. There are parts of it which deserve a place in Medical Anthology. In the 15th century a Spaniard named Diege del Cobo wrote a surgery in verse. This may have been without merit, but it has kept his name in medical history. In the same century Dr. David Kynaloch of Edinburgh and Paris wrote a heroic poem on the " Procreation, An- atomy and Diseases of Man." This work in two cantos was published in Paris in 1596. Practically nothing is known about Dr. Kynaloch. He evidently studied medicine in Paris and practiced in France for a time, but he must have kept up to some ex- tent his Scottish associations, for his poems are held in appreciation and were published in a collection of old Scottish Latin poems, entitled Delitiae Poetarum Scot- orum, 1637. Kynaloch's work was evidently written as a sort of medical compendium for the use of students, and he states that he puts the facts of medicine, anatomy and pathology, as known at that time, into verse because it would thus be easier for the students to remember them. He begins with an apology: Since the limitations of the Latin tongue do not furnish me a full vocabulary, or one friendly to the sacred fonts of medical art, I see the poem may be poor, if I give only a compendium of medicine and I also fear indifference to it in my Apollian readers (to whom alone these poems are consecrated ), for I sing of technical things in the manner of earlier poets with a pen which mixes up serious things with airy trifles. Oh, fostering parent, who art potent over heaven, soften these diffi- culties and strengthen my heart in this doubtful affair! '[xv] Concerning the Procreation of Man I sing of how came first to man the seeds of life, Of how the vital force and spirit Gave birth to wondrous things Working in the child in the womb of the mother And bringing forth the image to the divine shores of life. Of what amazing ills afflict man ; What brings the sick, long shackled by innumerable chains At last under the dreadful dominions of Orcus From which place even the sonorous lyre of Orpheus Cannot recall warlike hearts, But only the unique virtue and marvellous resources of the physician. These things I sing, since in the hope of praise Apollo has struck my young chest With his sharp thyrsus; Nor does my heart fail to know that my task is full of labor. There lived another sixteenth century poet and physi- cian whose name and work have come down to us, Cas- tor Durante, a physician, a poet and a botanist who was born in Italy in the early part of the 16th century, and died about 1590. He practiced in Rome and was the Physician to Pope Sextus V. He was so good a botan- ist that his name, Castor, was given to the plant now known as the castorium of the pharmacopea. He is said to have cultivated equally well Latin poetry and med- icine. He wrote a Latin poem concerning the care of the health and this was translated into Italian under the title, " II Tesaro della Sanita." It was published in 1588. The work is dedicated to the Pope, Sextus V. Durante gives in hexameters maxims concerning health, diet, climate, baths and the medicinal value of herbs. The lines are followed by comment and explana- tion. Durante was early among temperance advocates. [ xvi ] t. HEtIO CjESARE IMP. P^Ccelio & Albino Vibullio Pio Cosj.

First Edition of the Works of Fracastorius Venice, 1555 He describes the qualities of clear, pure water and adds : Hanc mihi si quis aquam dederit, vino valete Pocula, nam vincit optima lympha merum. If anyone should give me such water, farewell the wine cup, for the best water beats wine. He adds: Immodici et sensus perturbat copia Bacchi Inde quis enumeret quot meta proveniant ? A century later a German physician, Dr. Johann Joa- chim Becher (1635-1682), wrote a very large work, adorn- ed with many illustrations, and called Parnassus Medi- cinalis. Dr..Becher was born in Speies, Germany, and was educated under very adverse conditions. He early began to write on chemical subjects and on metallurgy. In 1663 he published his " Medical Parnassus ", a treatise in verse on the medicinal properties of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms, written in German in the style of the Regimen Sanitatis Salerni. In 1666 he was made Pro- fessor of Medicine at Mentz and physician to the court. Becher wrote later on physics and was the founder of the phlogiston theory later elaborated by Stahl. He was evidently a man of great talents as a practitioner, a chem- ist, and a man of affairs. His Parnassus furnishes the first systematic exploita- tion of opotherapy. " Man," he says, " the agreeable im- age of his maker, is furnished with twenty-four substan- ces useful in Medicine. These are the bone, marrow, flesh, brain, semen, liver, blood, urine, etc." He then gives in verse the indications for the thera- peutic use of each of these twenty-four good things. Becher starts with human tissues, which seemed to pro- vide a larger number of medicines than those of lower animals, for while man has twenty-four, the dog has only ten. About this same period there appeared in Germany a [ xvii ] real poet, Dr. Paul Fleming, who was born in Saxony in 1609. He studied medicine at Leipsic, but owing to the Thirty Years' War he had to leave his work. He went to Moscow and subsequently to the East and Persia. He came back after about six years, graduated in medicine and wrote an essay on lues. He started to practice medi- cine, but his death occurred in 1640 at the age of thirty- one. He was a lyric poet and wrote in a somewhat academic style, but he had had an unusual experience in the world, and he showed fire and sincerity in his poetry. He re- ceived the Imperial Crown of Poetry and he is called "the one genuinely inspired lyric poet of the period of the Thirty Years' War." His verses are found in Warner's Library of the World's Best Literature. The following is an example: To Myself Let nothing make thee sad or fretful, Or too regretful; Be still; What God hath ordered must be right: Then find in it thine own delight, My will. Why shouldst thou fill to-day with sorrow About to-morrow, My heart ? One watches all with care most true; Doubt not that he will give thee too Thy part. Only be steadfast; never waver, Nor seek earth's favor, But rest: Thou knowest what God wills must be For all his creatures, so for thee, The best. In the same century England produced two writers of genuine poetry. Dr. Thomas Campion (d. 1619) wrote [ xviii ] songs which are among the classics of the English lan- guage ; and Dr. Henry Vaughan (1621-1695), known also as " The Silurist," wrote poems which are found in all the English Anthologies. In fact, no English physicians subsequently arrived at quite the distinction of verse writing that these two men achieved. In the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries there was much poetry written by medical men in eulogy of their con- freres. This was offered on the occasion of jubilees or appointment to some professional chair, or on publishing a book or in commemoration of a death. The poem was generally in Latin and was picturesque, florid, inscrip- tive and conventional, but it had value at least in that it showed mutual amities and often revealed some of the personal qualities of the professors and authors of the time. When we come to the later periods of the 18th and 19th centuries, a survey of the poetry of medical men covers a field too broad to be dealt with here. Quite a large volume has been compiled by a French author and is called Le Parnasse Medicinal. It contains biographies and quotations from a very large number of French doctors who have contributed to the Muse. I cannot find in this work any really good poetry, nor can I learn that any of the great French poets or even moderately great poets were physicians. In Germany, the great physiologist and physician, Al- bert von Haller (1708-1777), was almost equally great as a lyric poet and man of science. In England in the 18th century we find the poetic works of Tobias Smollett, Armstrong, Aiken, Akenside, Gold- smith, Garth and quite a number of minor poets, some of whom wrote things which reached the anthologies. In this period the views of the inspiration of the poet and mnemonic value of verse became a little changed, [xix] but the doctors still went on rhyming. Then their lines became smoother and more really poetic, and their work was no longer devoted only to diet, herbs, hygiene and technical descriptions of medicine and physiology. Dr. Erasmus Darwin in his " Botanic Garden," Arm- strong in " The Art of Preserving Health," and Down- man on " Infancy " were perhaps the last great didactic singers of purely medical things.* The medical poets of the 19th century furnished better poetry and were often more genuinely medical men than in any previous age. The list includes Thomas Lovell Beddoes, David Moir (Delta), John Ley den, Robert Bridges, Poet Laureate of England, Conan Doyle, Hake, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Weir Mitchell and William Henry Drummond, the poet of the habitant of Canada. I would not omit the American, Cheever, the contemporary of Poe and a poet who almost ought not to be forgotten. The practical minded will ask how much of this liter- ary output was worth while. How many real poets and how much veritable poetry do we find ? On the whole it will have to be admitted that the im- mortals are not numerous. Some verse lasts, however, because of its personal and topical qualities. Some be- cause it has historical value illustrating the situation of medicine or sanitation at a certain era. The Regimen Sanitatis Salerni will always be valuable * It is interesting to note how many doctors of great and genuine achievement have occasionally expressed themselves in meritorious verse. I mention only a few examples: Vesalius wrote a sonnet which had genuine feeling. Meynert wrote better poetry than prose. Claude Bernard was a tragic poet before he became a physiologist. Sir Thomas Browne's Evening Hymn is in the collections of classic English poetry. Edward Jenner wrote ballads and songs and his " Excuse " is found in most collections. [XX] .• :D.O€TO%Mj i ■V.«.i4 .

The epic of Fracastorius on Syphilis is a poem of some merit; it will remain in literature be- cause it is a part of medical history, having given a name and emphasis to an extraordinary and serious malady. The epic of Kynaloch on the Procreation, Anatomy and Diseases of Man is an acute illustration of the literary extravagance and methods of the learned men of his time (17th century). But it gives also a dramatic and conden- sed presentation of this century's anatomy and pathology. Garth's poem on the Dispensary portrays an interest- ing episode in medical and pharmaceutical history. Medical men have done permanently good work in translating the classic poets. Sewall did Anacreon, Garth many of Ovid's Metamorphoses and Dr. John Nott made excellent verse of Propertius. Virgil's Aeneid was first done into English about 1525 by Dr. Thomas Phaer, and finished later by Dr. Thomas Twyne. Dr. Thornton trans- lated the Georgics, and had them illustrated in part by William Blake. Horace has been translated by the late Dr. John Ordronaux of New York, and by Dr. Andrew Wood of Edinburgh, and Juvenal's Satires by Dr. Charles Badham. This covers only the activity of English writ- ing physicians. Greek literature gives us only one genuine medical poet, Nicias, although his friend, Theocritus, is said to •have studied medicine also. Latin literature is barren except for Macer. Dr. von Haller was one of the finer lyric poets, and Dr. Fleming was the great lyrist of his period. We have already spoken of Henry Vaughn, " The Si- lurist" (1622-1695), and Thomas Campion. Blackmore was esteemed by Johnson and his poems are still selling for a guinea per volume. Akenside in his " Pleasures of the Imagination" has lines which are " brilliant and spirit-stirring and colored [xxi ] with the Attic graces." His poem to Science is his best minor work. Armstrong is included in the classics and some of his poems may be still read with pleasure. Wolcott (Peter Pindar) was famous or infamous in his day as a writer of satire. His verse disturbed the minor currents of local English history. . Medicine claims as among its rather laggard followers but genuine poets, Abraham Cowley, who is little read but much collected, and who held a medical degree; George Crabbe, who was a medical man for a short time only, later becoming a clergyman; Goldsmith, who tried to practice and was qualified as an M. D., and Keats, who was about as much of a doctor as Crabbe or Cowley. It is perhaps not fair to include in our list men who like the above were only incidentally doctors, or who had only some brief experience with the apothecary and medicine. However, it has been the custom to gather these in; especially as thereby we add much to our gold- en treasury. In the 19th century, we have or have had, Oliver Wen- dell Holmes, Weir Mitchell, Robert Bridges, and William Henry Drummond, and Thomas Dunn English, who wrote stirring battle lyrics and the immortal Ben Bolt. There are many others who have written well though not nearly so many as those who have written badly. But for good or ill the Sacred Fire continues to burn in the Epidaurian Temple of Apollo. I presume that a reason for the doctor's frequent di- gression into the high fields of song is because genuinely successful physicians must have some feeling and im- agination ; such men see and recognize and are respon- sive to the emotional and human side of life. They sympathize with trouble and are touched by the conflicts of those with whom they have to deal. Their original [ xxii ] training was to form them into scientific, logical, obser- vant and practical men; their experience leads them into fields where more is needed than the laboratory and where they must ever be touched with emotion, or else they are just business men and laboratory workers. Meeting life in this way, if the doctor happens to have some power of expression and especial gift of imagin- ation, or even a rhythmical sense, he begins to chant his lays. Poetry, I hope, still continues to stimulate and please the mind and to elevate and thrill the heart. At any rate that is what it ought to do, and more, for poetry is that form of art which gives the highest and the most en- during and satisfactory esthetic impressions to those who have wise, cultivated and sensitive minds. There is no form of art that can give such joy as can be gained by the recital or perusal of the best things of the best poets. So it is to be hoped that if doctors ever have the divine fire in them they will not prevent its expression, always remembering that only the very best poetry is poetry, and that mediocrity is more a sin in poetry than in any other art. As Horace says: In some professions mediocrity and tolerable endowments may pro- perly be allowed.....but neither gods or men give any indulgence to middling poets; for poetry designed by nature for improving our minds, if it comes short ever so little of the top, must sink to the bottom.
