Un remède

March 16, 2018

Prenez fleurs de romarin
Électuaire de succotrin

Prenez scrupule de zédoaire
Ajoutez fleurs de primevère

Prenez pivoine, mélisse, reglisse
Betoine, euphorbe, queue d'ecrévisse

Prenez racine de couleuvrée
Rhubarbe choisie & pulvérisée

Prenez cubebes, axonge, agaric
Mastic, angélique, olymel scillitique

Prenez os de coeur de cerf
Bezoar de vache de mer
Prenez huile de castor raffinée
Gésier de vers de terre

Faites pilules de grosseur médiocre
De mucilage de racine de guimauve
De poudre d'ailes de souris-chauve
De térébenthine de couleur d'ocre

Et surtout ne pensez point à la mort
Avalez thériac, vous resterez fort.

Amazing!
