Página 601 - With juice of cursed hebenon in a vial, And in the porches of my ears did pour The leperous distilment ; whose effect Holds such an enmity with blood of man That swift as quick-silver it courses through The natural gates and alleys of the body ; And with a sudden vigour it doth posset And curd, like eager...
