Cicuta Virosa cic.

Cic. / (Sick.) / The Greek.

Cicuta,-Thou doth hold in stress,
Conditions os unconsciousness.
And several symptoms bring in view,
To spinal meningitis due.
And many vagaries of mind.
Conjoined with spasms, many kind.
Thy limbs, a strange distortion show,
Thy back bends backward like a bow.
Chorea thine, hysteria-shrieks,
Tetanus, somnambulistic freaks.
A reeling vertigo, and squint,
And hiccough of convulsive hint.
Thy pupils large, insensible,
That may of amaurosis tell.
Or of concussion of the brain,
Or rash, once out, repelled again.
By thought of them, thy pains abate,
A charcoal craving is thy fate.

The Greek,-Has screaming spasms.

The Greek, Plato, coaxes from Ignatia a cup of opium.

The Greek,-Who is subject to enlarged pupils,- Is in the cabin, with the yellow twins of Cina.
