But these rough harsher Hearbs of mine,
    About me rudely lying,
    Of which some dwarfish Weeds there be,
    Some of a larger stature,
    Some by experience as we see,
    Whose names expresse their nature, 200
    Heere is my Moly of much fame,
    In Magicks often vsed,
    Mugwort and Night-shade for the same
    But not by me abused;
    Here Henbane, Popy, Hemblock here,
    Procuring Deadly sleeping,
    Which I doe minister with Feare,
    Not fit for each mans keeping. 
    Heere holy Veruayne, and heere Dill,
    Against witchcraft much auailing. 210
    Here Horhound gainst the Mad dogs ill
    By biting, neuer failing. 
    Here Mandrake that procureth loue,
    In poysning philters mixed,
    And makes the Barren fruitfull proue,
    The Root about them fixed. 
    Inchaunting Lunary here lyes
    In Sorceries excelling,
    And this is Dictam, which we prize
    Shot shafts and Darts expelling, 220
    Here Saxifrage against the stone
    That Powerfull is approued,
    Here Dodder by whose helpe alone,
    Ould Agues are remoued
    Here Mercury, here Helibore,
    Ould Vlcers mundifying,
    And Shepheards-Purse the Flux most sore,
    That helpes by the applying;
    Here wholsome Plantane, that the payne
    Of Eyes and Eares appeases; 230
    Here cooling Sorrell that againe
    We vse in hot diseases: 
    The medcinable Mallow here,
    Asswaging sudaine Tumors,
    The iagged Polypodium there,
    To purge ould rotten humors,
    Next these here Egremony is,
    That helpes the Serpents byting,
    The blessed Betony by this,
    Whose cures deseruen writing:  240
    This All-heale, and so nam’d of right,
    New wounds so quickly healing,
    A thousand more I could recyte,
    Most worthy of Reuealing,
    But that I hindred am by Fate,
    And busnesse doth preuent me,
    To cure a mad man, which of late
    Is from Felicia sent me.

      Claia. Nay then thou hast inough to doe,
    We pity thy enduring, 250
    For they are there infected soe,
    That they are past thy curing.

SILVIVS, HALCIVS, MELANTHVS.

    A Woodman, Fisher, and a Swaine
      This Nimphall through with mirth maintaine,
    Whose pleadings so the Nimphes doe please,
      That presently they giue them Bayes.
