Seite 93 - SEE what a lovely shell, Small and pure as a pearl, Lying close to my foot, Frail, but a work divine, Made so fairily well With delicate spire and whorl, How exquisitely minute, A miracle of design ! What is it ? a learned man Could give it a clumsy name.
Seite 1 - Der Geist der Medizin ist leicht zu fassen; Ihr durchstudiert die groß' und kleine Welt, Um es am Ende gehn zu lassen, Wie's Gott gefällt.
