"GRAY'S ELEGY" AMENDED.

["I have often thought that GRAY's _Elegy_ was defective
in having no verse commemorative of the sequestered and
unsophisticated philanthropy of the village doctor."--_Sir
James Crichton-Browne at the Yorkshire College, Leeds._]

And one lies here of whom the scoffer said,
He did his best the green churchyard to fill;
None ever looks upon his lowly bed,
Without the recollection of a pill.

He lived sequestered, and he died unknown,
A truly unsophisticated man;
A medicine-glass adorns his humble stone,
And thus the epitaph they graved him ran:

"Here Doctor BOLUS lies, to dose no more;
His charge was moderate, but quite enough:
Death left a last prescription at the door,
And then the doctor had his '_Quantum suff._'"
