Sec. / (Seek-Sea.) / Secelia.

Verse

Secale bleeds;
The blood proceeds,
Especially from the sexual parts.
Her body cold
Yet bears no fold
Of clothing that reaction starts.
Her thirst intense,
Hunger immense,
With vomiting like coffee grounds.
And creeping in
Beneath the skin,
Whilst numbness of the flesh abounds.
Has sighing breath,
And stare of death,
Whilst hiccough adds to her distress.
Pulse rapid, small,
Near none at all,
Lips blue, with weary restlessness
To all this sad
Condition add
A constant purging from the bowel.
Death fearing gloom,
A falling womb
And menses flowing black and foul.
