Creatures there are, of wondrous skill / To rid themselves of every ill, / By use of vegetable specific -- / Their sound construction organic / Preserving by their lore botanic.
They know all herbs medicinal -- diuretic, / Narcotic, purgative, emetic, / Febrifuge, styptic and prolific, / Cephalic, too, and sudorific.
