Ham. / (Hama.) / Ham.
Verse
Hamamelis,-Thee we greet,
Victor of the bleeding fleet.
All excretions show the stain
Of thy haemorrhagic drain.
Passive bleeding-constant-slow
From thy veins where'er they go.
Even from thy skin a drain
Such as inward parts sustain.
Knotted are thy veins, and red,
Where the flames of "Itis" spread.
And if broken-thus induced
Ulceration is produced.
Pains that on thy testes seize,
Or thy consort's ovaries,
Or rheumatic twinges sore,
She with thee must needs deplore
Or prolapsus of the womb,
Or the rectum be her doom.
Whilst in floods her monthly "guest"
Comes-or stupor if suppressed.
Water turns thy stomach-yea
Even thought of drinking may.
