Che Elnatomists Mia to his love XXXXXXXXXX X X 32 52 X X X Y X X X X X X X X X X XXXXXXXXXX PRELUDE. HE expression of love from her eyes so keen, As they beam on another in a far distant land, Is a pleasure to feel - it can never be seen, Save you walk with my love, heart in heart, hand in hand. 3' I list while thy heart and ascending aorta, Their volumes of valvular harmony pour, And my soul from this vascular music has caught a New life from this dry anatomical lore. Those beautiful orbs they are haunting me still, As they roll 'neath the palpebral, dimly translucent, Obeying in silence the magical will Of thy oculo-motor, pathetic abducent. Oh! thy cornea, love, has a radiant light, As the sparkle that laughs in the icicle's gleam, And thy crystalline lens, like a diamond bright, Through the quivering frame of thine iris is seen.

XYhen Medicine is my quest, And the mysteries ofthe chest, To reach a right conclusion oft is trying, But if not certain quite, Cf a diagnosis right, Perhaps am aided by the patient kindly dying. Now my forte will always be In the art of Surgery, Of my skill in that there can be no denying. First I use my eyes with care, Then my fingers bring to bear, Last my tongue, for fear the patient may be lying. At length a longed degree, Entitles to a fee, Though a practice takes for most a deal of making: Still if knowledge is my friend, 'Twill be all right in the end: But if not, 'twill be a long-continued take-in. F PEGRAM says his coat has acquired a peculiar odor for which he cannot account. He isn't sure but some of those little dark animals may have taken a shot at him.
