Staphysagria staph.

Stap. / (Staff.) / Stephen.

Staphisagria,-We see
Thou art much like Mercury-
In thy nightly aggravation,
In destructive inflammation
Of the bone, and of its sheath,
Of the gum, and of the teeth,
Of the glands, of the skin,
Showing syphilitic sin.
Quick thy temper-vengeful-pitching-
Damp thy scurffy scalp, and itching
In thy forehead, sense of sitting
Pressure, like a ball tight fitting.
Gummy eyelids thine, and sore,
And beset with styes galore.
Heart disturbed by slightest motion,
Cough denoting lung corrosion.
Abdomen so weak it drops
Downward, needing bracing props.
Nodes that show rheumatic dregs,
Sweat with smell of rotten eggs.
Blotches from herpetic hatching,
Always burning after scratching.
Drowsiness the whole long day
Whilst at night sleep flees away.
For the body aches all over,
Worse by night and weight of cover,
And to aggravate conditions,
Thou hath seminal emissions.
