Dul. / (1st D.) / The Duke.

Verse

Dulcamara,-Sounds the chime,
"I'm for mucus-I'm for slime,
Slime-or blood and slime, let loose,
I discharge from pipe or sluce."
Diarrhoea, is my boast,
A catarrhal kind the most.
Oft my skin is itching, dry,
Burning after scratching-Aye,
And if hive, or rash strike in,
Pains and asthma supervene.
From a dampness, cold, or rain,
Comes my mucous flux, or pain.
From a cold my ills arise;
Warmth or motion mollifies.
