The Elixir of Hate, by George Allan England.

Published: The Cavalier August-November 1911

Famous Fantastic Mysteries 1942

A. Merritt’s Fantasy Magazine 1950

From goodreads.

Blurb:

A twisted tale of hate and revenge set against the beautiful backdrop of a villa on the French Riviera. American physician Granville Dennison, feeling the cold grip of Death tightening with each passing day, abandons his medical practice and comfortable life in New York City to sail across the Atlantic in search of a life-saving miracle. Rumor has it that a brilliant scientist living in virtual seclusion may have discovered the secret of eternal youth. The story seems fantastic, but Dennison is prepared to risk anything and everything in his desperate attempt to evade the Grim Reaper! Long forgotten and unjustly overlooked, this stunning yarn is the masterwork of early science-fiction writer George Allan England, a towering figure in pulp-fiction history!

And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?
