S. f. (Police) hôpital public de malades, et particulièrement de lépreux :

A sad, noizom place, wherein are laid

Numbers of all diseas'd of all maladies !

Dire is the tossing, deep the groans ; despair

Tends the sick, busy from couch to couch ;

And over them, triumphant death his dart

Shakes, but delays to strike, thó oft invok'd

With vows, as theirs chief good, and final hope.

C'est la peinture qu'en fait le célèbre Milton, voyez INFIRMERIE, LEPROSERIE. (D.J.)
