CAUSAE ET CURAE

Christine Scanlon

Seed holds
Then
Is something

A person, if they speak

When will
His will
           & his seed (please speak)

These speak
With & when
Too hot are the humors

(so swole)

Then jasper
Should he eat
& some littlefern
In place or as part
Of other hearts

          Should he also
          Take his eyes
          & purify them

                                 Often?

Most often:
With leaves (fern)
With water (frequently)
& cook them in (fern)

Or anything with lightning
